In 2001, The Chicago Council began a series called Asia in Chicago to generate greater public awareness and dialogue about Asia, including the analysis of civic, political, social, economic, and environmental issues. The series is co-sponsored by the Center for East Asian Studies and the South Asian Language and Area Center at The University of Chicago and the Southeastern Asia Center at Northern Illinois University.

If you are particularly interested in China or India and would like to participate in exclusive programs with others who have extensive regional experience, please consider joining the China or India Roundtable.
