China Initiative
Housed at the Watson Institute, the China Initiative is an interdisciplinary hub for the study of modern China at Brown University. The initiative's goals are threefold: to produce cutting edge academic research on the Chinese developmental experience, to apply that research to the resolution of real world societal challenges, and to connect China-focused research to new forms of pedagogy and experiential learning. The Initiative seeks both to better understand China itself and to use the Chinese experience to better understand broader global phenomena in a comparative context.
