Chinese studies - Faculty of Arts

Offered by the School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics

As the world's longest continuous civilisation, China provides rich sources as well as case studies for a wide range of research in the humanities and social sciences. Thus, China Studies covers a diverse range of research areas and uses several disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches. At Monash University, Chinese Studies focuses on political, historical and cultural issues in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries using both Chinese and Western sources. Several staff members also have strong interdisciplinary interests in Taiwan Studies. Research supervision is available in areas including Chinese politics and foreign relations, traditional and modern Chinese literature, Chinese philosophy and intellectual history, contemporary Chinese intellectuality, post-Mao Chinese society, mainland and diasporic cultural issues, Taiwan politics and foreign relations, Taiwan history and cross-strait relations.
