The Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Education （CTBE） SIG was founded by Dr. Hongyu Wang from University of Oklahoma and Dr. Xin Li from California State University in 2008.
CTBE SIG was established to bring together individuals who share a common interest in in-depth, cross-cultural, international dialogue on how Confucianism Taoism, and Buddhism in both classical and contemporary schools of thought can inform educational theory and practice between the east and the west. It provides opportunities for members to participate actively in the Association both through SIG activities and in leadership positions.
CTBE SIG strives to become
o A home for eastern philosophy scholars
oA bridge of idea-exchange between the East and the West
oA platform for advancing human civilization and social change
