Message from the Department Chairperson Our dedicated team of internationally acclaimed scholars believes in the intrinsic value of creating knowledge of the past through research and the importance of disseminating this knowledge through publications, teaching, and engagement with our community. Our academics are world-renowned scholars who have published widely in top academic journals and with prestigious university presses and commercial publishers including Harvard U. Press, Stanford U. Press, Cambridge U. Press, and Columbia U. Press. Most of our staff members have received generous research grants from important governmental and non-governmental funding bodies including the HKRGC, the Australian Research Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Fulbright Program. Many serve on editorial boards of premier journals and assessment committees of grant-giving agencies. Moreover, many of our staff members have been invited to write OpEd pieces in leading international newspapers including the New York Times, Washington Post , Wall Street Journal , Financial Times, South China Morning Post , Yomiuri , and the Australian . Our academics have also been asked to share their expert knowledge in the production of world-class documentaries on NHK in Japan and China Central TV. Finally, we have been active in sharing our expertise with the community via popular media. Our staff members have been interviewed numerous times on radio and television for the BBC, CBC, CNN, NPR, Radio Australian, the ABC in Australia, and SBS. Dr. Charles Schencking  |
