China 101: Student Pipeline
Build a foundational understanding about China
China 101 is an intentional community designed for students and young professionals who want to enhance their exposure to opportunities related to the Chinese language and culture, as well as China's economy and role in global geopolitics. This community welcomes those with little or no previous exposure to the China field, as well as those with extensive experience.
Overview
The field of Chinese Studies has a diversity problem. Despite the wealth of Black professionals and academics all over the world studying and commenting on the Chinese diaspora, the field lacks a consistent pipeline for young Black people to engage in professional development and learning related to the field. China 101 aims to fill this gap, establishing a network that connects Black students interested in Chinese Studies with one another and with professionals who want to further their professional advancement in their relevant fields.
