Biography

Prof Lin Shaoyang obtained his PhD from the University of Tokyo, Japan. He was a full professor and a member of the professoriate of the University of Tokyo for years. He also taught twice at the City University of Hong Kong for two short periods. His research interests include intellectual, political, diplomatic, and literary histories of China and Japan from the early modern period onward, particularly focused on East Asian history in the late sixteenth and late nineteenth centuries from the global history perspective. He regards himself as a Comparative East Asianist who concentrates on dynamic interactions in a global context and tries to observe history outside the existing framework of this region’s national histories.

Prof Lin publishes actively and extensively in three languages: Japanese, English, and Chinese. He is the author of several books in Chinese and Japanese. He is now working on several book manuscripts in English and Chinese, which he is about to complete. He is also an advisor and editor for several international journals, including Nanguo xueshu (Southern China Quarterly: The Journal of the University of Macau), The Journal of Japanese Philosophy (SUNY), and China and Asia: A Journal in Historical Studies (Bril), etc.
