The Ideal and the Real: Arcs of Change in Chinese Culture
A five-week institute in Hawai'i for twenty-five college and university teachers on the historical dynamics of cultural change in China.
The Ideal and the Real: Arcs of Change in Chinese Culture is being proposed as a five-week summer institute to be held in Hawai`i under the auspices of the Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP), a national collaborative project jointly sponsored by the East-West Center and the University of Hawai`i. Through the proposed institute, 25 non-specialist, undergraduate educators will examine the historical interplay among religious, philosophical, social, political and artistic ideals and realities as a means of understanding the historical dynamics of cultural change in China and continuing through the country’s stunning re-emergence as a global leader.
