Racial Profiling Among Scientists of Chinese Descent & Consequences for the US Scientific Community

C100 Presents: "Racial Profiling Among Scientists of Chinese Descent and Consequences for the U.S. Scientific Community"

Committee of 100, a non-profit membership organization of prominent Chinese Americans, and the University of Arizona, one of the leading research universities in the country, will unveil findings from a new joint research project focused on race and ethnicity in science and research.

Designed to understand how research and academics have been affected by the limitations that the U.S. government has placed on international exchange with China, the research will have a special focus on the impact on professors and researchers who are of Chinese descent.
