My name is CC Huang and I am an international affairs major with minors in philosophy and Chinese at George Washington University (GWU). I was born in Hubei, China but immigrated to the United States when I was three to join my parents in Seattle. Most of my memorable life took place in Iowa City, Iowa.

I became increasingly aware of the international community and global issues through policy debate in high school and developed a strong sense of curiosity through involvement with journalism.

Since then, I’ve had a variety of work experiences in Washington, D.C. I’ve worked with the World Security Institute as a development intern, volunteered as a Chinese teacher through the Global Languages Network, and coached policy debate at Georgetown Day School. I also helped Joshua Eisenman, a fellow in Asia Studies at the American Foreign Policy Council, conduct research on party relations between China and various African governments.

This past semester, I’ve canvassed for Barack Obama, worked as an admissions assistant for the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission, and conducted research for Roy Richard Grinker, an International Affairs, Anthropology, and Human Sciences professor at GWU, on the politicization of science and public-science relations.

Last summer, I worked in Beijing as an assistant editor for China Security, a foreign policy journal that is dedicated to bringing the perspective of Chinese scholars to Washington. I am now back in Beijing to study at Peking University. I plan to stay here for a year to improve my Chinese and work with organizations committed to human rights and environmentalism. I also have my own blog, Chinamatic.
