The University of California at Davis announced it will establish a Global Tea Institute for the Study of Tea Culture and Science. Professor Katharine Burnett, the institute’s founding director, envisions “an umbrella program, binding together the professors and librarians who remain in their home departments.”
“The institute would draw endowed chairs in at least four different disciplines (e.g., health sciences, agriculture and environmental studies, humanities and social sciences, etc.), to underscore the diversity of the approaches engaged in our vision and make these diverse approaches permanent fixtures of the institute,” according to Burnett.
