The Society of Heart's Delight is a Chinese immigrant community, with many of our active members being those who moved to the US from China as adults. We are professionals, writers, business owners, lawyers, researchers, programmers, artists, moms, community builders, and your good neighbors living in silicon valley, where 35% of residents are Asian Americans.
However, that doesn't mean we don't feel lonely and not understood at times. Recently we found ourselves caught in between two worlds and two worldviews and an escalating rivalry relationship. Questions and confusions are abundant, and the COVID 19 pandemic has only made them more acute.
We want to talk those questions and confusions over with smart analysts, observers, folks who straddle both worlds and see things from both perspectives. On March 5th, we'll do just that.
We will have author and analyst Matt Sheehan in conversation with Eva Woo.
Matt Sheehan is a Fellow at the Paulson Institute's think tank, MacroPolo, where he leads work on U.S.-China technology issues, with a specialization in artificial intelligence. His research maps and quantifies the key inputs to AI ecosystems globally.
Matt is the author of the book The Transpacific Experiment: How China and California Collaborate and Compete for our Future.
From 2010-2016 Matt lived and worked in China, including as the first China correspondent for The World Post. He also worked as the China correspondent for The Huffington Post. In 2016 he returned to the Bay Area, working as an analyst and consultant on China and California topics. In 2018, he was selected as a finalist for the Young China Watcher of the Year award.
Eva is an impact strategist living in Silicon Valley; she manages the China program at Stanford University's Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society (PACS). Before that, she had spent over a decade as a journalist and entrepreneur focused on U.S.-China innovation and impact in Beijing, DC, and San Francisco Bay Area with organizations from Cisco, Bloomberg, to South China Morning Post, Caixin.
