Despite the "political gloom and human rights problems" Tibet faces as an autonomous region within the People's Republic of China, rural Tibetans are confident about their economic future and continue to preserve their cultural traditions, Tibet scholar Melvyn Goldstein said in a lecture in Kemeny Hall on Tuesday.
