University IntroductionFudan University was established in Shanghai in 1905,

first known as “Fudan Public School”. Mr. Ma Xiangbo, the

founder, was a renowned educator at the time, who was

hoping to strengthen China through education. Dr. Sun Yat-

Sen, the founding father of China, acted as the director

of the board of trustees. Since its establishment, Fudan

was regarded as a symbol of China seeking enlightenment

from the Western world. Along the 111 years since its

establishment, Fudan has been distinguished as the leading

globally-focused, research driven university in China.

This recognition is reflected by the fact that Fudan has

consistently been ranked among the top three universities

in China and 43rd worldwide according to 2016 QS World

University Rankings. Nowadays, Fudan continues her

pursuit of excellence and commits to powerful research and

education.

Fudan is a member of the C9 League, Universitas 21 and

Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU). It is

composed of four campuses: Handan, Fenglin, Zhangjiang,

and Jiangwan. Fudan has 17 schools, 69 departments,

LU YangProfessorDepartment of Chinese Language & Literature, Fudan University

Prof. LU Yang  received his PhD in Literary Theories from the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at Fudan University in 1990. He was invited as a visiting scholar in Augustana College (U.S., 1993-1994) and a visiting scholar in the Department of Philosophy, Ecole Normale Superieure de Paris (May-August, 2000). His research interests include aesthetics, literary theory, and cultural studies.

This course involves a survey of Chinese arts, in both of its ancient and contemporary forms, such as painted pottery, bronze vessels, painting, calligraphy, and film. Emphasis will be placed on the inner spirit of the relationship between Chinese arts and Chinese philosophy. Since often mythology coins a nation’s cultural identity, even if in the unconscious level, the course will start its journey from ancient Chinese mythology, leading to inquiries such as in what sense female role plays a significant part in Chinese mythology, and how does one understand the unbending will of rebellious force displayed in Chinese mythology? The first part of this course will focus on the discussion of early Chinese painting to show how the transcendental as well as secular spirits intertwined in the Chinese intellectual life. Considering we live in an age of globalization and consumer society, contemporary Chinese popular culture will also be discussed, among which the re-mapping of urban space will be a major topic. By “French Theory in China”, this course will trace its Chinese reception back to the happy 1980s when due to the “open policy”, China began to digest Western avant-garde theories through their “Americanization”. The course will also indicate how Chinese academic fervency transmits from “theory” to “culture”. The course will be spread over a series of questions: Is there any concept in traditional Chinese culture corresponding to the western idea of Nature? To what degree does the cursive script of Chinese calligraphy correspond to sword dancing? How are we to understand the conditions of beauty, whether interior or exterior? etc.

FENG BoAssociate ProfessorDepartment of Communication, UC Davis

Prof. FENG Bo  received her PhD in the Department of Communication at Purdue University and has been teaching at University of California, Davis since 2006.

The purpose of this course is to expand your understanding of the role of culture in shaping the ways in which we communicate with and relate to others. Culture can be broadly defined as a system of taken-for-granted assumptions about the world that influences how we think, feel, and act. This course will introduce you to major theories and concepts of intercultural communication from a variety of perspectives, and we will look at many of the different processes that make up cultural differences, and examine how these theories and concepts can guide us to communicate competently in intercultural communication settings. In addition, we will engage in critical discussions about the role of culture and communication in (re)constructing the collective human reality. Issues of identity, power, and control, as well as ways of transcending cultural and ethnic differences will be discussed.

This course introduces foreign students to the background of China’s political institution and culture and provides overview of the relationship between China’s media and politics in a global context. By the end of the course, the students will have acquired a broad perspective of China’s political communication and gain familiarity with China’s media system and its political consequences. Four general topics will be explored: media and China’s revolution; media policy; trajectory of media reform; media and international relations. For each topic, the course will be conducted with two lectures and one seminar. The students will be divided into several groups, each of which will give a presentation on each topic.

After the Reform and Opening Up, China has experienced tremendous transformation in both political and socioeconomic fields. During this process, ordinary citizens are becoming more and more important in the country’s political life. Political culture and public opinion research concerns how ordinary citizens think about politics, government performance, and specific public policies. This course explores the nature and dynamics of the political culture and public opinion in contemporary China. It is divided into three major parts: theories of political culture and factors that affect public opinion; the rise of public opinion in contemporary China; and how public opinion affects political behavior and governmental policy in the end. Through this course, students are expected to gain a better understanding of political culture and public opinion in contemporary China.

History of Diplomacy in Modern China

This course is designed to provide college students with basic historical facts and figures about Chinese diplomacy. It is intended to provide an introductory survey of Chinese diplomacy at different phases ranging from the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 to the present day. The course is structurally organized in five sections: (1) Theories, doctrines, and ideologies in Chinese diplomacy; (2) China’s diplomatic practices perceived through China’s relations with nation-states and supra-national actors around the world; (3) institutions and processes in Chinese diplomacy; (4) key issues in Chinese diplomacy; and (5) future scenarios of Chinese diplomacy. As history is fundamental to the comprehension of contemporary international realities, and interdisciplinary endeavors are encouraged, the course attempts to blend methodological insights from political science and international relations with the study of the Chinese diplomatic history as it covers.

Her academic interests focus on medical anthropology, science and technology studies, as well as the broader issues of modernity and globalization. She recently published the paper "Mothering Expectant Mothers: Consumption, Production, and Two Motherhoods in Contemporary China"( Ethos 38).

With a focus on the cultural dynamics of the Chinese Marketplace, this course addresses a range of topical issues from the implications of globalization for everyday life in the context of unprecedented transformations, the rise of entrepreneurship and consumerism in contemporary China, and the relevance of values and morals for business practices. The key goal of this course is to provide a set of conceptual tools and a new perspective that will hopefully help students better describe and understand the local social world around you. In learning this new perspective, students will develop a critical, even “skeptical” view toward superficial explanations of take-for-granted practices by replacing common sense understandings of interpersonal interactions with an uncommon sense about the links between individual experiences, structural forces and particular marketplaces.The course instructor will use a variety of pedagogical techniques to help students learn course materials, including lectures, videos, and ethnographic analysis. Students are expected to work together as a learning community to explore issues of general interests. Well-documented case studies and business ethnographies will be woven into in-class discussions of these major themes as a way of grounding theory in marketing practices. Course reading is arranged in weekly units around specific thematic issues. Discussions of the case study materials will be accompanied by presentations of the instructor’s research on a range of topics related to the application of anthropological, sociological methods of inquiry to business practices in different field settings.

The purpose of this course is to help students understand the basics of international trade and the effects of various international economic policies on domestic and world welfare, with an empirical focus on Chinese trade and foreign direct investment. The course will highlight sources of comparative advantage, gains and losses from trade, the impact of trade on economic growth, and effects of trade policy interventions such as tariffs, quotas, voluntary export restraints, and export subsidies. In doing so, it will emphasize both theoretical (analytical) models as well as empirical studies of how well those models fit “real world” data. Moreover, the course will frequently compare and contrast alternative theories/conceptions of the nature of international trade and the gains or losses thereof. Understanding the economic intuitions behind the technically demanding models as well as thinking critically about the assumptions behind the theories and how well they fit actual trading economies will be a major focus. The instructor will try to strike a balance between the "extensive" and the "intensive" margins of the course materials: the extensive margin refers to an overview of various topics in the field of international trade, while the intensive margin means technical training and empirical real-life cases in China on selected topics.

This course is designed to portray some of the facts in a broad range of developing countries. It covers several topics in recent development economics literature with a focus on property right, taxation, and corruption in low-income countries. It examines how these institutions evolve with income. It introduces a variety of methodological approaches to address a number of empirical questions, such as what is the value of political connection in Indonesia, does third-party reporting reduce pollution in India, and why some countries have more complicated government hierarchy whereas others do not. The course aims to build up students' critical-thinking skills through reading the most recent empirical development economics literature and participating in class discussion. Students are expected to be able to conduct independent empirical study on their own after the course.

The course is designed to give students a solid understanding of modern international finance theories and empirics and provide them with a thorough introduction into the latest developments in the field of international finance. The course consists of three modules - exchange rates, balance of payments, and international capital movements, covering issues such as exchange rate determination, international monetary systems, exchange rate regimes, balance of payments adjustments, the causes and consequences of international capital movements, the theories and empirics of financial crises, and China's foreign exchange rate policies and balance of payments issues.

Lecture Series on Chinese Economy and Society

A quick way to know a country is to stay in the country and interact with local people. However, acquiring a deeper understanding of a nation requires more effort. Communicating with the intellectuals in the host country will be the most efficient way to understand a different culture from yours. The Lecture Series on Chinese Economy and Society is designed and provided by Fudan School of Economics to facilitate knowledge-building and equip you with a thorough understanding of Chinese economy and society in the past, current and future. The lectures will be delivered by top scholars in relevant research fields from Fudan University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and LSE. There will be 22 90-minute lectures, which will all finish by the end of the second week. Each lecture equals 2 credit hours. The students can choose to earn either 1 credit by attending 18 credit hours of lectures or 2 credits by attending 36 credit hours of lectures in total. A paper on a lecture-related topic is required as the final assessment of this course. The exact schedule of the lectures will be posted at iss.fudan.edu.cn.

Instructors from home and abroad will be invited to give lectures in this course. For more information about the instructors please refer to the iss website. We will update the website as each instructor confirms.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

JI Xin Assistant ProfessorDepartment of Materials Science, Fudan University

Development of Technology and Patent System

Dr. JI Xin  received his PhD from the Department of Materials Science of Fudan University in 2010. His research interests include patent protection, trade secret protection, and intellectual property strategy.

Deriving from technological innovation, patent system (PS) is the key toward promotion, diffusion, and exclusion of technology. To the extent that it enhances diffusion of technical knowledge through the economy and generates useful adaptive inventions, it contributes positively to productivity growth. One question is how the PS works. Furthermore, growth of PS raises the problem of anti-monopoly legislation, especially on how to balance technological protection and anti-monopolization. In this course, the development of technology and the patent system will be reviewed. PS between nations will be introduced. In addition, in technology-integrated industries such as electronics, the patent pool issue will be discussed. It is noted that the patent protection varies with industries. As a result, the way they are protected in various industries such as pharmacy, electronic and chemistry industries will be discussed to help better understand the patent system.In addition to theory, this course will also focus on the practice side, like how to apply for patents in China, as well as PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) patent. Choice between trade secret and patent is another issue for corporations. In fact, it is the issue on intellectual property protection strategy and of course it will be discussed sufficiently. Topics like why some technical schemes will be applied as patents, while others will be protected as trade secrets, how to construct intellectual property fence to obtain maximum benefit will be dealt with. The issue on how to play the so-called patent games in different countries is of great importance to multi-national corporations. In our courses, the patent-related legal system will be introduced to help control the legal risk of exports and technical imports.

Comments from Previous Students

EVAN BUDD (USA, 2016): It’s been a really interesting experience being in Fudan University. The instructors’ English is very good. I was not certain what to expect but I was not at all disappointed. I took 2 Chinese history courses. Honestly, they were really helpful in my understanding of Chinese history and culture. I feel like I really have a much better grasp now than when I first came. ZHENGYANG SHARON SUN (Canada, 2016): I like the International Trade course because it is very theoretical and the way the course is taught is very standard just like in Canada. I also took the Cultural Resource course. That one is much more open because it’s more artistic and creative and we did a lot of field trips to learn more about Shanghai, infrastructure, culture, history and the Shanghai resources, the brand of the city. So in that case the course is very different and diverse. So it is standard to certain degree but it is also more creative.

IP CHUN SING (Hong Kong, 2016): My favorite course is Topics in Development Economics because the professor always stimulated us to think more. He asked some critical questions so that we can learn more about the economy. Meanwhile we can train our critical thinking. I think it is very important for university students to learn how to think critically. This course has really stimulated my interest towards

economy.

GRACE CHAN (UK, 2016): The lectures were deep and insightful. It offered a good analysis and discussion on the Chinese economy and society, packed in two weeks. It is invaluable especially when all the lectures and economics concepts are applied specially to the Chinese context with cases, including the company visits.* Comment about the Lecture Series on Chinese Economy and Society

POOLE RACHEL ANNE (Australia, 2015): The Fudan summer program has been a fantastic experience. I feel that I will leave Shanghai knowing a lot more about China than I did when I arrived! The diverse activities we have participated in, including tai chi, acrobatic show, visits to Hangzhou and Tongli and many others have enriched the experience. I also learned a lot about the Chinese business environment and modern economy through my courses. ANA PATRICIA (USA, 2015): I really enjoyed this summer program!! Not only did I get to study in one of the most prestigious universities in China for a whole, but I also got to meet a lot of international friends who have the same interests as me. I learned about Shanghai and how beautiful it is and have had

such a great time in the extra-curricular activities, such as the acrobat show and making jiaozi. This really is an experience I will never forget!

FALSAL HANNAH REBECCA (UK, 2014): Summer Session is a fantastic experience. Attending the Summer Session at Fudan is great for exploring Shanghai. The staff students of Fudan University are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Summer school is a good way to meet people from all over the world.

VEDELAGO MICHELLE MARIE (USA, 2013): Despite growing up in China, taking part in the Fudan International Summer Session was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The program offered a good balance of Chinese language and content courses, which were very interesting seeing as they were being taught from a Chinese perspective. Moreover, the Chinese language courses were very engaging which made it one of my favorite parts of the program. Nonetheless, Shanghai is one of the greatest cities to be in to not only experience a part of China, but to watch modernization happen at first hand.

ISMAIL MOHD ARIF BIN (Malaysia, 2013): I live in the greenery Fudan campus, surrounded with such a vibrant atmosphere of Shanghai. It is a great environment for me to immerse new culture and

broaden my perspectives as well.

DANG HIEU (Vietnam, 2013): The courses are fun and informative, the dorm life is nice, and I spend most of my free time eating and exploring the city.

KANG HARAM (Canada, 2013): Life is very different from home, but I am really enjoying my stay in Shanghai. I spend my free time trying to travel and see new sights within the city also I like hanging out with new friends both international and local.

CLIVIO CARLOTTA (Italy, 2012): I had the tremendous opportunity to take a “Comparative Philosophy – Eastern and Western” module at Fudan University. Often engaging in lively philosophical debates with students from across the globe, the more topics we dealt with, the more I became curious to hear our professor’s stand on each issue.

EASTERLING SARA ELIZABETH (USA, 2012): My favorite thing about this program is experiencing the city. Living in Shanghai, there is always somewhere to go and something to do, and being in an Asian city has taught me a lot about cultural diversity. Everything is different! From the food to fashion and even architecture, it's interesting to see such a mix of tradition and modernity.
