| Diana Chen Lin is the author of Peking University, Chinese Scholarship and Intellectuals (SUNY Press, 2005) and Feng Youlan and Twentieth Century China: An Intellectual Biography (Brill, 2016), as well as articles on modern China’s intellectual landscape. Recent projects have included studies on markets and the populist articulation of Chinese nationalism in the 1990s and 2000s; the effect of COVID-19 on the Belt and Road Initiative as an ideological and global phenomenon; the divide between science and metaphysics in modern China; and the relationship between communism, modernization and Chinese literary studies during the Cold War. My recent research has turned more directly to questions of governance and policy in contemporary China, drawing on interdisciplinary approaches to examine the causes and impacts of policy over a longer historical context. I write primarily for academic audiences, but also for readers interested in policy and public affairs. A detailed list of my publications is available here. |
