Research Centre for Chinese History and Culture

The Research Centre for Chinese History and Culture brings together expert scholars to study the depth and breadth of Chinese history and culture, covering a wide range of topics from the study of ancient texts, history, literature and philosophy, to arts, religion and social custom. The Centre also aims to deepen the students’ and the general public’s understanding of Chinese culture and to enhance their ability to appreciate the significance of Chinese cultural heritage and the value of Chinese culture to personal life, social harmony and world peace. Activities of the Centre include lecture series and seminars, study tours to cultural sites, and writing for publication on Chinese history and culture.

The Centre aspires to be an international hub for young scholars of sinology and the study of Chinese history and culture.

Currently the Centre is headed by its founding Director, Professor Chu Hung-lam, with Professor Chen Lai of Tsinghua University and Professor Michael Nylan of the University of California at Berkeley being its Advisors. A full list of members of the Centre can be found on CIHK webpage.
