There are eight two disciplines in the History College. The whole hospital has under its jurisdiction the departments of history, world history, cultural relics museum, history research institute, China Modern History Research Institute, Ancient Books Culture Research Center, Japanese History Research Center, American Historical and Cultural Research Center and Latin American Research Center. There are several teaching and research departments and laboratories under departments, research institutes and centers.
The world history major of Nankai University covers a wide range of research fields, especially in the four research directions of world ancient medieval history (including Byzantine studies), American history, Japanese history and Latin American history, which enjoys a high reputation at home and has a great influence internationally. To give a simple example: among the young scholars who have received doctorates in American history in the last two years, four have published doctoral theses in English in the United States, which has had a great influence on American history circles. At present, this is the only research institution of world history in China. It can be said that the discipline of world history in Nankai University covers almost all directions from dynastic history to regional and ethnic history.
World ancient medieval history: involves the research direction of ancient Greek and Roman history, Byzantine history, Christian history and Arab Islamic civilization history. The subject of ancient Greek and Roman history occupies an important position in China. Mr. Wang Dunshu, the academic leader, is the chairman of the World Medieval History Research Association, a closed disciple (who was as famous as Chen and other masters in Tsinghua University before liberation) and an authority on Roman history in China. It's a pity that Mr. Wang has retired, but he still offers a famous elective course of western history for undergraduates and postgraduates, so we can still hear the old gentleman teaching English with a slight London accent.
Byzantine studies are second to none in China. Chen Zhiqiang (Ph.D., Aristotle University), the academic leader, is the chief representative of China of the International Byzantine Society and has become the pillar of China's influence on this world-famous school. In addition, the Byzantine Research Center in Eastern Europe was established, and a wealth of foreign language research materials and retrieval systems about Byzantium in English and Greek were collected in China, which laid a solid foundation for students interested in academic research. Professor Ha Quanan mainly directs the research direction of Arab history, but in recent years he has gradually turned to the comparative study of modernization in the Middle East, especially in Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. If you are interested in the unpredictable historical process in the Middle East, you can choose Mr. Ha.
American History: Mr. Yang, one of the pioneers of American history in China (1participated in the establishment of the China American History Research Association and served as vice president in the early 1980s), who has been in charge of Nankai University for more than 40 years. The American history major is located in the American Center for Historical and Cultural Studies. Professor Li Jianming, the current director, is the president of the American Historical Research Association. He is a recognized authority on American history in China, mainly engaged in the study of early American history, American race relations history and American historiography history.
Professor Han Tie came to Nankai University from abroad in 2002. He once taught at Wuhan University, another important research center of American history in China, and later obtained a doctorate in the United States, and settled in Canada, mainly engaged in the research of American economic history and American legal history. Other research directions of American history: American diplomatic history, Sino-US relations history, American constitutional history, Canadian history, etc. In addition, in 2005, the American Center will recruit graduate students in American studies, which is the only doctoral and master's program in American studies in China at present, and it will become a new growth point in the construction of American central disciplines to carry out comprehensive studies in contemporary America.
Japanese history: The discipline of Japanese history was founded in 1964, and has undergone great changes from the Japanese history research room to the Japanese research center and then to the Japanese research institute. Now, Japan Institute has become a comprehensive "Japanese Studies" research institution integrating Japanese history, Japanese economy, Japanese politics and international relations. Several doctoral supervisors in this research direction are all vice-chairmen of China Japanese History Research Association, and their comprehensive strength is first-class in China. Every year, a considerable proportion of graduate students get the opportunity to complete their degrees in Japanese universities. One thing to note: Japanese history subjects have high requirements for Japanese, thinking that Japanese is the only foreign language exam. Although English candidates were enrolled in 2005, compared with Japanese candidates, they are at a disadvantage in admission and future study.
Latin American history: Latin American history was also born in 1964, and the Latin American Studies Center was established in 1994, becoming the only research institution that coordinated the national Latin American history research under the guidance of the Ministry of Education. Professor Hong is the president of the Latin American History Research Association, and Director Wang Xiaode is the vice president. Needless to say, the research strength of Latin American history is unparalleled in China (of course, when it comes to contemporary Latin American studies, the Latin American Institute of China Academy of Social Sciences is also very strong, mainly enrolling students under the disciplines of international relations and world economy). Nankai Latin American history recruits English candidates. Candidates who can't speak Spanish or Portuguese don't have to worry. Judging from the situation in recent years, all the Latin American history candidates admitted are English candidates, while Spanish learning is a short-term (one year or so) intensive training for graduate students. The main research fields of Latin American history: Latin American political and economic integration, the relationship between the United States and Latin America, etc.
