15 Hours Reading Club
“15 Hours” is an online reading club co-sponsored by the Center of East Asian Studies at the University of Arizona and the College of Visual Art Research at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute. The name reflects the time difference between Chongqing, China, and Tucson, Arizona, where the two universities are located. Our goal is to promote collaboration between graduate students from UA and SCFAI, enabling them to exchange insights and foster international knowledge-sharing in East Asian studies while promoting a commitment to global academic service.
