Mission and Priorities

The mission of the Chinese Arts and Humanities Initiative is to serve as an interdisciplinary platform to promote and advance scholarship and education in various fields of Chinese arts and humanities at GW. Housed in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, the initiative also aims to promote student interest in and understanding of Chinese language, culture and arts to enhance their studies in related fields.

Our programming and events include guest lectures, research talks and panel discussions, workshops, symposia, conferences, film screenings, opera and other music performances and art exhibitions.
