Why Choose a China Internship?
My name is Pat McCarthy, and my connection with China began as a boy growing up in a modest home in rural Ireland. I remember my mother saying, “Get your old clothes ready,” when the China charity truck came to collect donations for rural Chinese children. I put my best shoes in the bag. My family also welcomed Chinese immigrants into our home after their restaurant burned down. Those experiences taught me to spare a thought for others.

The Relational Ontology of Personhood. AI-Generated.
Core Thesis Reality is intelligible through ordered relation. To identify anything as a determinate thing is to locate it within distinctions, boundaries, conditions, and modes of relation that make it the kind of thing it is. A thing is not understood merely by naming that it exists. It is understood by asking what it is, where it exists, when it exists, how it exists, what relations make that mode of existence possible, and whether its mode of being rises to the level of personhood.

No topic is coveted over others. Philosophy and Religious texts are read alongside scientific studies. History is returned to with deep, critical reflection. Cultural studies are embraced with respect, and complex Math problems are patiently explained.

The Balkans
There is a place in Europe where Ottoman minarets cast shadows on Byzantine churches, where Communist-era apartment blocks sit a stone’s throw from Roman amphitheatres, where you can eat a three-course meal for the price of a coffee in Paris and where the people will invite you into their homes before they even know your name.
