Scottish Centre for China Research (SCCR)
Description
The Scottish Centre for China Research (SCCR) is Scotland's leading centre for post-graduate research on China. It has over 50 students undertaking doctoral research. Doctoral programmes are located administratively within eight Schools across the arts and social sciences. SCCR encourages cross-disciplinary fertilization and inter-disciplinary research by organising seminars, lectures and other events with a China focus. Academic staff meet regularly to discuss China-related research themes and collaborate on particular projects. The Centre brings together researchers specialising in China in universities across Scotland. Its distinctiveness and strength in research come from its multi-disciplinary range, pulled together currently into three strategically significant and cognate areas:
- Governance, Public Policy and International Politics This cluster brings together expertise in: Chinese health and social policy, environmental politics, urbanization and housing, non-local chambers of commerce, NGOs and civil society, and the Chinese Communist Party.
- International Economic Relations and Accounting. This cluster brings together Glasgow expertise in Chinese business and economics and accounting.
- Arts and Humanities This cluster encompasses research in Art History, as well as research on modern Chinese culture and its intersections with Europe. It includes the China Art Research Network (CARN), which brings together art historians, archaeologists, museum and art world professionals who specialise in China and who work on object-based research in disciplines including history, technical art history and conservation. At the core of CARN is research, with an emphasis on a range of materials from Chinese painting to jade carvings.
