Liberal Arts Initiative Summer School (LAISS), Instructor, 2013
Liberal Arts in China Summer School (LAISS) is a two week summer school aiming to promote the liberal arts ideal in China, especially among the high school students. It is characterized by small, discussion based classes and direct interactions with professors, who, for this year, will come from Amherst College. The rigor of the classes will be at least at par with typical Amherst College classes, and therefore, they are meant to be challenging even for the brightest high school students.
