ABOUT US and CONTACTING US
CINARC (the Chinese in Northwest America Research Committee) is quite new, having been established in July, 2008. We are Pacific-Northwest-based researchers who approach the subject from the viewpoints of history, anthropology, and economics. Details of our various research interests will appear here in due course.
The editors of CINARC's website are Drs. Chuimei Ho and Bennet Bronson
Chuimei received her Ph.D. in archaeology and art history from the University of London. She was a founder and first president of the Chinese-American Museum of Chicago.
Ben's Ph.D. is in anthropology, from the University of Pennsylvania. He is an emeritus curator of Asian archaeology and ethnology at Chicago's Field Museum.
Both are recent immigrants to the Pacific Northwest
December 1, 2009. CINARC has just acquired its first corresponding editor:
Larry Wong (Vancouver, B.C.). Larry was a founding director and president of the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of British.Columbia. He is presently the historian and curator of the Chinese Canadian Military Museum in Vancouver's Chinatown.
CINARC will gradually add corresponding editors for other places in the Pacific Northwest.
