Chang Visiting Professorship in Chinese Studies and David H.Y. Chang Distinguished Professorship in Chinese Studies in support of research and teaching of Chinese language, history and culture at the University.</p> <p>Both Professorships will attract top scholars in the field. Aside from leading research and fostering international collaboration from an academic perspective, appointed professors will also teach graduate and undergraduate courses on Chinese language, history and culture. The search for candidates for both professorships will begin in 2025.</p> <p>NUS President Professor Tan Eng Chye witnessed the gift agreement signing ceremony that was held at FASS on 30 August 2024. The signatories were Mr David H. Y. Chang, Founder of Tigillus Foundation and Professor Lionel Wee, Dean of FASS.</p> <p>Professor Ong Chang Woei, Head of the NUS Department of Chinese Studies said, “The Chinese play a major role in shaping China and the world today. Having prominent named professorships that seek to acknowledge the contribution of distinguished scholars who have dedicated their careers to the study of the language, history and culture of the Chinese people not only in China but also around the world would help to create awareness regarding the importance of Chinese culture as a component of world civilisations in universities and beyond.”</p> <p>The Tigillus Foundation aims to foster mutual understanding between China and the rest of the world through arts, culture and education in the region and worldwide. These include the curation and exhibition of the Chang family’s art collection in international galleries, sponsoring and hosting international philanthropic events that focus on Chinese culture in areas ranging from fine arts to performing arts, as well as endowing professorships and fellowships across the region to promote the study of Chinese history and the world.</p> <p>Mr Chang shared, “My interactions with NUS have been nothing short of humbling, which speaks volumes of the incredible progress that this institution has made since its inception. In these times of breakneck speed in technological advancement coupled with the highest geopolitical tension since the end of the Cold War, Singapore can and must play a critical role in stabilising both the region and the Sino-Western relations at large. I hope the endowed professorships will attract the best talent to lead Chinese studies in Singapore and also welcome those from China and the West to come as visiting professors to offer an invaluable perspective from their respective home countries.”</p> <p>“As the leading institution for higher learning in Singapore, NUS is responsible for educating the future leaders of this country. It is my sincere hope that these modest donations will elevate the study for the university and the nation for its future role in the Asia-Pacific region.”</p> <p>From its origins in 1953 as the former University of Singapore’s Department of Chinese Studies, the FASS Department of Chinese Studies has grown to be recognised as one of the leading institutions in the field of Chinese studies and Chinese language globally, as well as a major centre in the Southeast Asian region.</p> <p>Last year, the Department <a href="https://news.nus.edu.sg/celebrating-70-years-of-education-and-research-nus-department-of-chinese-studies-caps-year-long-70th-anniversary-events-with-an-evening-to-remember/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrated its 70th anniversary</a> with a series of conferences that covered critical issues such as the future of Chinese language education in Singapore and the significance of diasporic and local Chinese popular culture, as well as more in-depth seminars on Chinese linguistics and translation studies, classical Chinese literature, and Chinese social and intellectual history.</p> <hr /> <div id="content " class="site-content"> <div class="ast-container"> <div id="primary" class="content-area primary"> <p style="text-align: left;"><em style="font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">This story first appeared on </em><a style="font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;" href="https://news.nus.edu.sg/two-new-professorships-nus-department-of-chinese-studies/">NUSnews</a><span style="font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;"> </span><em style="font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;">on 31 August 2024.</em></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><div class="uabb-js-breakpoint" style="display: none;"></div>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>Cyber Peace is Equally Important</title> <link>https://fass.nus.edu.sg/news/2024/07/24/cyber-peace-is-equally-important/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 24 Jul 2024 08:27:40 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://fass.nus.edu.sg/cs-chinese/?p=3912</guid> <description><![CDATA[By Bao Rong, student from NUS Communications and New Media and the NUS Chinese Studies.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="fl-builder-content fl-builder-content-3912 fl-builder-content-primary fl-builder-global-templates-locked" data-post-id="3912"><div class="fl-row fl-row-fixed-width fl-row-bg-none fl-node-tdncavxg871r fl-row-default-height fl-row-align-center" data-node="tdncavxg871r"> <div class="fl-row-content-wrap"> <div class="fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-col-group fl-node-0ar2zq8tf3s1" data-node="0ar2zq8tf3s1"> <div class="fl-col fl-node-v5x6hfdewukn" data-node="v5x6hfdewukn"> <div class="fl-col-content fl-node-content"><div class="fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-dq7mxgv3kt84" data-node="dq7mxgv3kt84"> <div class="fl-module-content fl-node-content"> <div class="fl-rich-text"> <p><strong style="font-size: 14px;
