The symposium is an inter-college event where students openly discuss the topics explored within each college’s respective theme.
Every RC student will give either a Presentation or a Poster - either as a group or as an individual project. Every RC student will also be an audience member.
At Registration, you will receive a name tag with your schedule on it. The Symposium is organized into two, concurrent, sessions: Session I: 1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. & Session II: 3:10 p.m. - 4:40 p.m.
Between 1990 and 2010, Chinglish (the literal translation from Chinese to English) was a common phenomenon in the public sphere. The effect of Chinglish is definitely humorous to both foreigners and native speakers. This presentation will ask, where does Chinglish actually emerge from and is Chinglish considered a face-threatening act? We will present a research on the definition of Chinglish, the reasons behind its evolution, and people's attitude towards Chinglish by surveying current Chinese students at Bucknell University. We will discuss the potential misunderstanding it creates and how the Chinese government responses to it.
