We are going to host a special talk featuring Dah-Wei Yih, an S.J.D. candidate at the University of Virginia School of Law and an Editor at the Virginia Journal of Law and Technology. Dah-Wei will share insights from his academic journey in the United States, reflecting on his dual roles as a law journal editor and a researcher in international law and national security.

He will offer an insider’s view of the U.S. law journal system, including how student-run journals differ from peer-reviewed ones, how articles are selected, and what editorial work entails. He will also discuss his research on how geopolitical competition and the rise of economic statecraft intersect with rule-of-law principles and affect global trade and security governance.
