China Centre for Health and Humanity (CCHH)
Description
The UCL China Centre for Health and Humanity (CCHH) takes an interdisciplinary approach to research and teaching, and is strong in the social sciences: history and culture, archaeology, the environment, law and international health and development.
It is committed to UCL's Grand Challenges especially as they relate to China: global health, sustainable cities, intercultural interaction and human wellbeing.
The Confucian concept Ren 仁, the quality that makes individual and society ‘human’ or ‘humane’, is at the centre of contemporary Chinese ethical discourse and CCHH will take up this debate in relation to health. The Centre supports interdisciplinary research and education in all these aspects of China’s health, and China’s impact on world health, past, present and future. The Centre brings together UCL’s considerable China expertise in an ambitious programme of teaching and research. Members aim to develop existing connections and facilitate new collaborative initiatives with institutions in China, creating new spaces for dialogue and debate about effective and appropriate health interventions.
The Centre organises seminars, film screenings and general-interest events, which are open to all members of the UCL community and registered Friends of CCHH.
