Word from the Director 主任寄語
One of the Fairbank Center’s greatest strengths is its intellectual community of scholars from around the globe. In spite
Fairbank Center Director Michael A. Szonyi 費正清中國研究中心 主任宋怡明
of the challenges arising from COVID-19, we are proud to welcome a new cohort of scholars and affiliates to the Fairbank Center’s vibrant international community. We are particularly pleased to be able to welcome our community back in person for the first time since spring 2020. As with many of the Center’s activities, this cohort will continue to experience Harvard and the Fairbank Center differently from those in previous years. While we are welcoming some back to campus in person, others will participate either remotely or via a hybrid combination of the two. Despite the challenges that come with our new pandemicera reality, we are confident that our efforts will encourage our affiliates to be just as engaged and involved in our academic community as those in the past.

Harvard University
Connecting our Campus Our faculty and staff form the core of our oncampus community at Harvard, and I know they join me in welcoming our new affiliates. We especially hope that our own students, including our eight new graduate student associates, will take full advantage of connecting with our new visiting affiliates to learn about their differing areas of expertise.
Our Staff We encourage our affiliates to make the most of their time here at the Fairbank Center. Whether through attending events in one of our nine public lecture series, visiting our exhibitions, using our world-class library services, collaborating on research projects, or meeting with other members of Harvard’s China Studies community, there are plenty of ways to become involved in the many available activities. We look forward to getting to know all of you over
