The program is designed to assist institutional teams and individual faculty members develop course curricula and strategies for Chinese studies program development. The first week of the program will include sessions on Chinese religion/philosophy, an overview of modern Chinese history, and sessions on visual art and literature/film. The second week will feature sessions on contemporary Chinese social, economic and political dynamics
