On Monday October 11, Dr. Luke Fetters, associate professor at Huntington University, presented his current research about English teachers working in southern China. His presentation titled, “Ordering Chinese: How English Teachers in Southern China Rank the Relative Importance of Traditional Chinese Values” revealed the results of data gathered in 2008 during teacher training in Zhuhai, China.

This event was sponsored by the Centre for Non-Western Studies and the Focus on Excellence colloquium. The Centre for Non-Western Studies supports inter-disciplinary research and teaching linked by a shared common interest in non-western politics, culture and society. Begun in 1998, the “Focus on Excellence” colloquium runs twice a year in an effort to showcase excellence as presented by university faculty or members of the Huntington community.
