The Harris Theater will host an Oxford-style debate Wednesday night on the rise of China and its possible environmental impact. The main question at hand: Will China’s rise lead to an environmental catastrophe? Chicago Public Radio’s Worldview host, Jerome McDonnell, will moderate two teams of two arguing either side of the proposition statement; including Vijay Vaitheeswaran, Global Correspondent for The Economist.
Tickets are $15 and can be bought online.
