About GCA Council
Language-based social scientific, humanities, area studies on China with global and comparative perspectives.
Global China Academy Council, composed of prominent individuals who have a clear interest in the study of China in a global context. The Council will play a key role in the Academy, as it will not only advise and guide the GCA as it moves towards its next phase of development and beyond, but will also be active in a range of ways, including the recruitment of new Fellows, contribution of articles to our journals, recommendation and submission of books for publication by GCP, recommendation of themes and speakers for our Global China
Dialogue series (GCDs), and an active involvement in raising the GCA’s profile.
