Founded in 2012, NYU Shanghai is China’s first Sino-US research university and the third degree-granting campus of the NYU Global Network. The university seeks to cultivate globally minded graduates through innovative teaching, world-class research, and a commitment to public service.
Global China Studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on China’s interactions with the wider world, as well as trends within China, at individual, societal, state, and global levels, and in the context of socio-economic, religious, cultural, and political transformations. Scholars in Global China Studies are trained in various disciplines, including East Asian languages and civilizations, religion, literature, law, and communication studies. Their research and teaching span pre-modern, modern, and contemporary China. Faculty in Global China Studies lead the Center for Global Asia, NYU Shanghai-ECNU Center on Global History, Economy, and Culture, and the Digital Heritage Lab, which create space for intellectual dialogues and collaborations about China or Asia in the global network of NYU.
