Tour Blog

I am looking forward to this year's study tour. We are going to have a lot of fun, learn a lot, and come to a better understanding of China's role in the world. Until we leave, please drop me a line or give me a call if you have any questions.
In case you are curious, I am an Associate Professor of Chinese history at Elizabethtown College in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I have a Ph.D. in Chinese history from the University of Hawai'i. I am originally from Salt Lake City, but I have lived for many years in West Virginia, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Taiwan. My research focuses on Chinese intellectual history and diasporas in world history. I have dozens of publications, including "New Culture in a New World," a study of intellectual exchanges between China and Singapore in the 1920s. I have traveled to China over a dozen times and have also traveled extensively around the world. I will be in Cuba and Costa Rica in June before leaving on our trip to China. In my personal life, I enjoy skiing, hiking, and spending time with my wife (Wendi) and three kids (Spencer, Meili, and Maya).
See you soon!
