Bringing students to China helped demystify process of field research, Oi says

Stanford China Program Director Jean Oi is profiled in the Stanford Report for her role in the Center for Teaching and Learning's "Award-Winning Teachers on Teaching" lecture series. Oi, the William Haas Professor in Chinese Politics, began her March 6 talk titled "Cow Pies and Democracy: Teaching in the Field," by laughingly apologizing for her word choice. "I still can't believe I chose that title, but I think it aptly describes what I do with my students," she said.
