陸揚 Assistant Professor (Ph.D., 1999, Princeton) Chinese history.

The focuses of my research and teaching are mainly society and culture of pre-modern China. My areas of specialty range from history of Sui-Tang Dynasties, social and cultural history of Chinese Buddhism, history of and religions associated with the Silk Road, history of Chinese historiography, to intellectual history of modern and contemporary China.

I began my intellectual quest studying Sanskrit and Indian Buddhism in Peking University and University of Vienna. I taught for several years as an assistant professor of Chinese history at Princeton University after I received my Ph.D. there. I also was a visiting professor at Harvard University during the 2006-7 academic year. I recently finished my first book, which is entitled “Emperor and His Enemy in Tang China: A Study of Xianzong and His Age.” It explores the complex nature of political and institutional changes in the ninth century and their impact on the imperial system of later dynasties.

My current research concentrates on two projects. One is the called “Knowledge, Network, and Authority in Medieval Chinese Buddhism.” It is a monographic study focusing on the models of Chinese Buddhist learning that evolved between the 4th and the 10th centuries and the network of monastic institutions that supported such models. It also addresses the broader implications this development had on Chinese society and its complex relationship with other scholastic traditions that were prominent in medieval China. My second research project deals with the social and cultural imagination of writing and with the relationship between such imagination and the rise of literati- aristocratic families in late medieval China. Based on extensive research on literary works and epigraphic materials, I attempt to reconstruct the cultural psychology and the institutional mechanism that shaped the socio-political elite of late Tang and early Song.

When I teach, I place pre-modern Chinese history in the context of world history. I am currently designing a course on the Silk Road, in which I will examine with my students, the early history of Chinese contacts with the western world through the Inner and Central Asia. In my spare time, I enjoy visiting museums, taking photographs, updating my blog (that I keep in Chinese), and writing essays on culture and history for major Chinese and Taiwanese newspapers and magazines.
