EVENT GUIDE

WELCOME TO FAMILY WEEKENDWe are delighted you are here for this very special occasion!Family Weekend is an important event in our community — a time when students share their lives on campus with their families. We hope your visit provides you a glimpse of the intellectual and cultural vitality of your student’s home away from home.

Get a taste of learning at Brown by attending an Academic Forum with one of our celebrated faculty members. No papers to write, no exams to take – just pure immersion in fascinating topics like sustainability, research and Brown’s Open Curriculum. Watch a special screening of the Oscar-winning documentary “Period. End of Sentence.” followed by a panel discussion with one of the film’s executive producers, Charlotte Silverman ’22, and current Brown students working on solving big global problems. And if youwould like to learn more about how Brown’s Open Curriculum has supported the intellectual and personal development of individual students, encouraged students’ active participation, and forged learning communities across disciplines for the last 50 years, join us for “Educating your Student at Brown: Life and Learning Inside and Outside the Classroom.”

At the Weekend Keynote Address, hear firsthand from President Christina Paxson P’19 and Undergraduate Council of Students President William Zhou ’20 about the innovative ways we are making a Brown education the signature experience of a lifetime — and preparing students for “lives of usefulness and reputation” as engaged citizens of the global community. Following President Paxson’s remarks, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi ’91, P’22 will deliver the keynote address.

To entertain and engage you, there are home athletic contests in field hockey, football and women’s volleyball; jazz and wind symphony concerts; a cappella sings under campus arches; dance performances; and so much more listed throughout the schedule. Whether you attend a sporting event, a concert or a theatrical performance, you will begin to see the full range of our community’s talent and commitment.

Thank you so much for taking part in Family Weekend 2019. We look forward to seeing you around campus.

Enjoy!

Making Sense of Hong Kong’s ProtestsEdward S. Steinfeld, Howard R. Swearer Director, Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs; Dean’s Professor of China StudiesThe recent protests in Hong Kong have frequently been presented in the media as a case of freedom-loving individuals trying to preserve their rights — and their city’s liberal system — in the face of an alien, and

increasingly aggressive, authoritarian regime. What is right and wrong with this interpretation? What else might be going on that is motivating these protests and the reaction of citizens across greater China? And, given that this year marks the 100th anniversary of China’s famous May 4th movement, how should we understand these protests in a historical context?Metcalf Research Building, Friedman Auditorium, 190 Thayer St.

Decrypting Encryption: A Conversation with Jill Pipher and

Seny Kamara

Jill Pipher, Vice President for Research; Elisha Benjamin Andrews Professor of MathematicsSeny Kamara, Associate Professor of Computer Science

Modern, or public key, cryptography was invented in the late 1970s. It makes it possible to send credit card numbers over the internet to a vendor you’ve never met or talked to; it is the foundation for digital signatures and digital currencies. At the

beginning, governments tried to suppress information about cryptographic algorithms. Now, with mass encryption of data in phones and texting apps, the tension between government law enforcement and cryptography is rising again. We will have an informal and interactive discussion about some of the history, the current political and social issues and what lies ahead in cryptography.List Art Building, Room 120, 64 College St.

Brown’s efforts to develop alternatives to animal testing that will shed light on how chemicals affect humans.Smith-Buonanno Hall, Room 106, 95 Cushing St.
