Mission 使命: Founded in 1955, the Fairbank Center advances scholarship in all fields of Chinese Studies at Harvard. 费正清中心成立于1955年，旨于在哈佛大学 通过各种渠道，推进各个领域的中国研究。

“DESPITE THE INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION ABOUT CHINA, IT IS STILL TOUGH TO MAKE SENSE OF IT ALL. WE MIGHT EVEN SAY THAT JUST AS THE UNITED STATES HAS A TRADE DEFICIT WITH CHINA, IT ALSO HAS AN UNDERSTANDING DEFICIT.” - Michael Szonyi, Introduction to The China Questions

A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR 主任寄语

FAIRBANK CENTER STAFF 费正清中国研究中心的全体员工

One of the Fairbank Center’s greatest strengths is our intellectual community of scholars from around the globe. This year, we welcome a new cohort of world-class scholars and affiliates joining the Fairbank Center’s vibrant international community.

Michael Szonyi 宋怡明, Faculty Director Professor of Chinese History, Harvard University szonyi@fas.harvard.edu

Our 2018-19 An Wang Postdoctoral Fellows - Wen-yi Huang, Wendy Leutert, and Malcolm Thompson - will develop their research in environmental history, state-owned corporations, and the study of China’s population. These ground-breaking projects complement the Center’s existing world-class research in the humanities and the social sciences.

Dan Murphy 慕浩然, Executive Director, Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies and Harvard China Fund daniel_murphy@fas.harvard.edu

Thanks to a generous gift from the Hou Family, we are excited to welcome our third year of Hou Family Fellows for Taiwan Studies.

The research of this year’s fellow, Jennifer Hsieh, builds on the Center’s expertise and scholarship on Taiwan, which we have developed over many years through our ongoing Taiwan Studies Workshop.

The Center prides itself as a nexus of international collaboration and interdisciplinary research on China. To this end, we welcome fourteen new scholars to the Center as part of our Visiting Scholars program, a key component of the Center’s engagement with China. Scholars join us from across academic disciplines, and we are fortunate to have so many highly distinguished academics and practitioners from throughout East Asia and North America to collaborate this year with the Fairbank Center.

This is illustrated not only by our Visiting Scholars but also by our Associates in Research program, which connects scholars working on China in New England and across the world.

Finally, we are pleased to welcome new affiliates from within Harvard: our Graduate Student Associates, Shum Fellows, and ICSCC Fudan Fellows. We hope that our students will take full advantage of the resources of the Fairbank Center, especially the expertise provided by our visiting affiliates.

As the last 62 years of Fairbank Center history highlight, increased cooperation and exchanges among the Center’s scholars, affiliates, faculty, and staff allow us all to benefit from a greater understanding not only of our own research but also of China in its myriad forms.

I wish you all success for the 2018-19 academic year.
