Chinese Names of Western Scholars

This listing aims to facilitate communication between Western and Asian China-scholars. As anyone who has attended a bi- or multilingual conference can attest, some amount of confusion is occasioned by the fact that Western sinologists are usually known in Chinese-speaking academia primarily by their Chinese names. As the latter, however, are not in common use in Western academic circles, it often takes a while to figure out that, for example, the professor Du Zanqi 杜赞奇, whom a Chinese conference participant keeps citing, is in fact better known in the English-speaking world as Prasenjit Duara.

With a view towards tackling this particular barrier to scholarly communication, I have compiled a preliminary list of several hundred Chinese names of Western scholars. “Western” here does not refer to any sort of ethnic identity, but merely indicates that the person in question publishes (or published) on some aspect of Chinese culture in a Western language. Thus, the list also includes, for example, Chinese, Taiwanese, Singaporean, Malaysian, Japanese, and Korean scholars whose names typically only appear in transcription in their publications.

No particular search criteria were applied in compiling this list so that the result is a somewhat heterogeneous mix of scholars from all over the world, most of them alive, some already deceased. It is hoped that the publication of the list will result in submission of additional entries by scholars the world over. I expect to expand and update the listings on a regular basis. Of course, other comments as well as corrections are always welcome and should be directed by email to clart [at] uni-leipzig.de. Thanks to everyone who has already contributed names to the list.

I would like to thank Dr. Fabian Heubel 何乏笔 of Academia Sinica (Taipei, Taiwan), Mr. Andreas Berndt 博安德, and Mr. Wieland Schulz 苏威朗 (both at the University of Leipzig) for their help in assembling the data presented here.

This list was revised by adding names from the English/Chinese Comparison Table for Names of Chinese Studies Scholars, which was originally published as an appendix of the book, 北美中国学 = Chinese Studies in North America – Research and Resources (Beijing: Zhonghua shuju, 2010). The original work was edited by an editorial team lead by Haihui Zhang 张海惠, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh. The work is maintained, revised, and updated regularly by the University Library System, University of Pittsburgh and is available here: http://d-scholarship.pitt.edu/17682/ .
