The Center for Chinese Studies at 50: Past, Present, and Future

Established in 1957 with funding from the Ford Foundation and the State of California, the Center's early mission was to coordinate and support the study of contemporary China on the Berkeley campus. Over the last 50 years, the Center has evolved into one of the most active research centers at Berkeley, supporting research and teaching on all aspects of Chinese culture and civilization.

In the early 1960's, a contemporary-China reading room was established at the Center, which has since become known as the the Center for Chinese Studies Library, that has grown to become one of the premier research collections on contemporary mainland Chinese affairs in the United States.

If you want to learn a little something more about Asian Studies, I, Robert Lee Taylor, give dissertation on the subject via a rap video that I recorded with the famous Korean American R&B artist, Michael J.K. Choi. The title of our new video is, "The 25th Century." Professors, and students alike, please have a listen.

Why?

[Wrightis]

Liu Xin is brilliant, as my professor he has stretched my perception of knowledge and information.

[Remoteum]

Female educators beyond the sixth grade in public school are an abomination.
