FOR OVER A CENTURY, HARVARD HAS PIONEERED RESEARCH ON CHINA 一个世纪以来，哈佛一直

是中国研究领域的开拓者。

Since the appointment of our first Chinese-language teacher in 1879, Harvard has been a world leader in China Studies. Today, Harvard has more scholars teaching and researching about China than any other American university. We have long been, and will continue to be, a global leader in China Studies.

FOR THE PAST SIXTY YEARS, THE FAIRBANK CENTER HAS DEFINED CHINA STUDIES 引领中国研究六十 年 The past year marked an important milestone for the Fairbank Center: the 60th anniversary of its founding as Harvard’s Center for East Asian Research.

We celebrated the anniversary with a year-long series of events and conversations. One highlight was our celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival. An event of unprecedented scale for the Center, the celebration drew almost one thousand people from across campus and the local community to attend interesting lectures, watch musical and theatrical performances, enjoy seasonal foods, and in the process learn more about the work of our Center.

Generations of Fairbank Center faculty and friends attended the Fairbank Center 60th Anniversary Gala, including John and Wilma Fairbank’s two daughters and Wilma’s sister Marian Cannon Schlesinger who, with the wisdom and grace of a centenarian, regaled us with tales of her travels to China in the 1930s. The third highlight was an academic symposium that drew together the extraordinary intellectual talent of the Fairbank Center community to discuss the most important questions facing the study of China today.

CELEBRATING OUR ANNIVERSARY IN STYLE In addition to these events, we also devoted time to engage in conversations about our future.

Since its establishment, the Fairbank Center has always been one of the leading - if not the leading - centers for China Studies outside of China. To maintain this position, we will need to adapt to the changing landscape of our field. Although the Fairbank Center is the traditional home for China Studies within Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, today there is not a single school at Harvard which does not have faculty, students, and alumni engaging with and studying China. Our faculty expertise remains unrivaled, but how we can best support scholarship on China in new and increasingly diverse fields of study still remains an open question.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016–17

OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES While the activities of the Fairbank Center are ultimately decided by our community of scholars, from the conversations over the last year we have identified three strategic priorities for our next phase. They are: DIGITAL CHINA STUDIES: We are working to establish a new Digital China Office to encourage the development and use of new technology, tools, and methods for scholarly research, collaboration, and communication.

CHINA AND THE WORLD: China’s growing role in global affairs demands more research about its interactions with the rest of the world.

These changes also present opportunities for comparative work, such as our project on Meritocracy in China and India.

PUBLIC OUTREACH: Our Center is uniquely positioned to help address the greatest challenges and the most important questions facing China.

We feel an obligation to engage with the public and the policy-making communities, to contribute to a better understanding and, where we can, to help address the most pressing problems.

A SUPERB TEAM WITH NEW LEADERSHIP As Faculty Director, I am fortunate to work with a group of committed, enthusiastic, and innovative staff. I am grateful to each of them for their hard work on behalf of our shared mission. It was wonderful to see the team’s work recognized this year by their receipt of a Dean’s Distinction Award.

This year, we were also joined by Dan Murphy, our new Executive Director. I look forward to working with Dan and the entire staff in the coming year to take the Fairbank Center to new heights.

The Fairbank Center was established at a time when China’s role in global affairs was quite limited. No one would make that claim today. China is a central actor in global affairs, and none of the pressing issues in our world can be addressed effectively without the involvement of China. This makes generating and disseminating knowledge about China more important than ever. I look to our friends around the world for advice and support to secure the future of the Fairbank Center, extending the vision of John King Fairbank, our founder, into a second sexagenary cycle.

CELEBRATING SIXTY YEARS IN STYLE 隆重庆祝60周年 Our 60th Anniversary kicked off with a campuswide celebration of Chinese culture, music, and food at our Mid-Autumn Festival, the largest event in the history of the Fairbank Center.

Featuring Harvard student groups, traditional crafts, music and dance performances, and TEDstyle presentations from our faculty, this event brought the whole China Studies community together from campus and beyond.

MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL 中秋节快乐!

PAINTING PEKING: AN EXHIBITION OF WATERCOLORS FROM CHINA IN THE 1930s 花艺北平：中国1930年代来的花艺展 览会 During John Fairbank and Wilma Cannon Fairbank’s time living in Beijing (Peking) in the 1930s, Wilma painted scenes of everyday life in the city. Wilma’s sister, Marian Cannon Schlesinger, visited the Fairbank’s hutong home in 1934 and also painted the city.

Marian’s paintings were subsequently published as a children’s book, San Bao and his Adventures in Peking, which first appeared in English in 1939 and in Chinese in 2016.

For our 60th Anniversary, the Fairbank Center was delighted to exhibit Wilma’s and Marian’s fine watercolors, as well as photographs from the Fairbank collection and the Sidney Gamble collection.

A special thanks to the generosity of the Fairbank daughters, Holly and Laura, who loaned these materials for the exhibition.

“In recent years, as China opened again to Americans, returning travelers who know I lived in Peking for four years in the 1930s have been asking me ‘Won’t you tell us what it was like then?’”

- Wilma Cannon Fairbank

60TH ANNIVERSARY SYMPOSIUM 60周年座谈会 The pinnacle of our 60th Anniversary was a two-day academic conference celebrating the breadth and cross-disciplinary research of the Fairbank Center. Ten panels, hosted by our faculty, brought together generations of China scholars from around the world to discuss the fundamental questions facing China Studies today.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES WE AIM TO:

TRANSFORM, 变革技术 INSPIRE, 鼓励创新 AND 推动合作 ENGAGE

In the 60 years since the Fairbank Center’s establishment, the landscape of China Studies has shifted dramatically. Today, every school at Harvard—from Business to Public Health— engages with China through research, programs, exchanges, students, and alumni.

China is central to our understanding of global affairs. As China Studies expands into new fields, such as medicine, the environment, and even robotics, we are here to develop and support research that defines what it means to study China. Our unrivaled faculty expertise ensures our adaptability and invaluable position as a partner for China-related research at Harvard and beyond.

As part of our 60th Anniversary, we have identified three strategic priorities to shape the Fairbank Center’s future research.

A NANNUNAULA R L ERPEOPROTR 2T 021061–61–71 7 |

TRANSFORM DIGITAL SCHOLARSHIP ON CHINA 变革技术 The use of new digital technologies for scholarly research, collaboration, and communication is one of the most exciting developments in academia today. To support this ground-breaking research, we are developing innovative digital methods to study China’s past and present through a new Digital China Office.

CURATORSHIP:

Building on the success of our An Wang Postdoctoral Fellowship on Digital China, we are looking to appoint a full-time Digital China curator to serve as a resource for Harvard faculty and students on the use of new digital research methods.
