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.
