Council Study Centers in China
Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE), New York, NY, USA
Supplied note: "The CIEE offers programs throughout greater China including Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Taipei, Taiwan and that draw upon the strengths of each location and encourage students to explore each city's historical, cultural, and economic importance. Given the complex nature of China and Taiwan, one can only expect to scratch the surface during a term of study. In order to gain a deeper understanding of China and Taiwan, it is recommended that students spend an academic year at one site or study at more than one location if possible."

Aboriginal - Chinese Encounters (1900-2000), Dec 2000
The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia
Supplied note: "The Centre for Cross-cultural Research (CCR), the Centre for the Study of the Chinese Southern Diaspora (CSCSD) and the Humanities Research Centre (HRC) at the Australian National University would like to announce 'Lost In The Whitewash: Aboriginal - Chinese Encounters From Federation To Reconciliation.' Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2000. Venue: Centre for Cross-Cultural Research, Old Canberra House, Ground Floor Conference Room, at the Australian National University, Canberra.
To date, there has been no conference, workshop or volume dedicated to Aboriginal-Chinese encounters and their place in the making of Australia. Our colloquium aims to fill this gap. Bringing together leading experts in Aboriginal and Chinese culture, society and identity, it will build on existing histories of Chinese and Aboriginal peoples in Australia by situating both peoples in relation to one another."
