The Use of Culture in China

The workshop is designed both as a start to dialogue between scholars in China and from the rest of the world on this topic; and to interface with current discussions taking place for theWUNGlobal Challenge on Cultural Understanding to organize a project on The Use of Culture more globally.

There are no formal papers. Presenters speak for ten to fifteen minutes; a designated discussant will then respond before a period of general discussion.
