Prof. Fan Xin

From July to August 2021 Prof. Dr. Fan Xin joined our project as the first guest professor. He is the author of the recent monograph World History and National Identity in China: The Twentieth Century. We discussed the translation of Wu Yujin’s 吴于廑 (1913-1993) foundational general introduction to the emergence of world history in modern China (published as the introduction to the Encyclopedia of China – Foreign History-Volume, 1990). During his stay at FAU, he worked on his new book manuscript on “The World as a Historical Analogy.”
