“‘The Great Wall’ is definitely among the biggest-budget co-productions, and it’s the first very large budget one in which there is a major Chinese creative force behind it,” says Aynne Kokas, a UVA assistant professor of media studies and the author of the forthcoming book, “Hollywood Made in China.” “That’s the part of the story that’s getting left out.”
Philip Zelikow, a UVA professor who also served in the Bush State Department, argues that the global engagement Trump resists can be summed up in two simple sentences: “The future of America depends on partners and friends in the world. The future of America depends on doing business in the world.” Most Americans, even Trump supporters, would endorse these principles if they could be articulated more clearly, he says.

A paper by UVA’s Jennifer Doleac and Benjamin Hansen of the University of Oregon, published Aug. 1, looked at the impact of introducing ban-the-box policies on labor-market data from America’s population census.
