Hanchao LuHanchao Lu, professor in the School of History, Technology, and Society, has been selected as a fellow of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.
Lu is among 49 artists and scholars from Harvard and around the world who, during the 2013–2014 academic year, will pursue projects across the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences. He will study the pattern of state and society relations in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) through the lens of everyday life in Shanghai in the first thirty years of Communist rule.
Lu indicates that his project is historical by discipline, but also fundamentally interdisciplinary.
“This social and cultural history of Shanghai will have robust connections with sociology, anthropology, political science, literature, economics, and, to some extent, women’s studies. In that regard, Radcliffe’s multidisciplinary environment will be of great benefit to my research.”
