  • By Bryan Penprase, Dean of Faculty, Undergraduate Program, Soka University of America
    Global Liberal Arts and New Institutions for 21st Century Higher Education by Bryan Penprase, Dean of Faculty, Undergraduate Program, Soka University of America Definitions, History, and Evolving Ideas about Global Liberal Arts A Typical liberal arts chronology recites the Medieval seven liberal arts consisting of the trivium - with Grammar, Dialectic, and Rhetoric; and the Quadrivium, with Arithmetic, Geometry, Music and Astronomy. As an astronomer, I am always glad to know that Astronomy has been an official part of liberal arts for over 1000 years! In the past 200 years, the United States developed an interesting fusion of German research university and English college, resulting in the institutions which we in the US would call “liberal arts” institutions. These US liberal arts institutions can vary in size from Soka University of America (with 500 students), to Pomona College (with 1600 students), to Yale University (with 12,000 students) but all have in common an emphasis on the student’s capacity to think freely and to possess the skills needed for knowing why they think what they think. This in turn empowers them and helps them be “free” - the “liberal” in liberal arts. Robert Pippin, in his Aims of Education address at the U. Of Chicago1 described liberal arts as “knowledge for its own sake” and emphasized the “liberality of mind” and the ways that liberal arts provide opportunities to expand intellectual processes to know how scientists, poets, sociologists and others interpret the world, and from these explorations to develop

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2, 2013 © copyright by YOU GUO JIANG 2013 Conceptions about Liberal Arts Education in China Abstract Liberal arts education is an emerging phenomenon in China. However, under the pressure of exam-oriented education, memorization, and lecture pedagogy, faculty, university administrators and policy makers have not embraced it whole-heartedly. Through qualitative methodology, this study explores the current thinking of Chinese policy makers, university administrators, and faculty members on liberal arts education and its challenges. A study of the perceptions of 96 Chinese government and university administrators and faculty members regarding liberal arts education through document analysis and interviews at three universities helps in comprehending the process of an initiative in educational policy in contemporary Chinese universities. This research analyzes Chinese policy making at the institutional and national levels on curriculum reform with particular emphasis on the role of education in shaping well-rounded global citizens, and it examines how the revival of liberal arts education in China would produce college graduates with the creativity, critical thinking, moral reasoning, innovation and cognitive complexity needed for social advancement and personal integration in a global context.

  • Beijing Forum 2019 Liberal Education Through College: World's Experience and Asian Experience (III)
    Beijing Forum 2019 Liberal Education through College: World's Experience and Asian Experience (III) On the afternoon of November 2, 2019, the third session of the panel “Eastern/Western Culture and College Culture” was held at Room M11, Stanford Center, Peking University. The conference was hosted by Professor Li Meng, Dean of Yuanpei College, Peking University. The first speech was given by Gan Yang, Dean of Xinya College, Tsinghua University. His topic was “Residential Colleges and the Modern University”. After introducing some basic information about Xinya College, Gan Yang posed a question of what was the proper proportion of liberal arts education and professional education. He pointed out that the contradiction of students needing to amass a large amount of knowledge in a limited amount time was hard to solve. He went on to emphasize Xinya’s motto, which is “combine learning and practicing together”. He suggested that colleges consider shaping students’ values as the first priority, students’ competence as the second, and put knowledge in the last place. Associate professor Fan Guangxin, from Nankai University, delivered the second speech, which focused on modern Chinese translations of the word “university”. He pointed out that modern Chinese translations of the word “university” had changed greatly. In the late Qing Dynasty, “university” was translated as taixue (太学) or daxue yuan (大学院), the name of traditional Chinese secondary schools. It reflected Chinese people’s hope of improving traditional Chinese taixue by comparing Eastern and Western college culture and learning from the West. However, the defeat in Sino-Japanese war in 1895 destroyed Chinese people’s confidence in the traditional Chinese taixue.

  • The Challenges of Higher Education
    The Chinese Century? The Challenges of Higher Education William C. Kirby Abstract: One can ½nd in any airport kiosk books that proclaim ours to be “the Chinese century.” We have titles such as “The Dragon Awakes,” “China’s Rise,” “The Rise of China,” and “China’s Ascent,” to name but a few. But to rise is not necessarily to lead. What constitutes leadership? In higher education, China is building the fastest growing system–in quality as well as in quantity–in the world.The foremost global powers of the past four centuries all offered models in the realms of culture, ideas, and education. This may be said of seventeenth-century France under Louis XIV; of the Qing during the Qianlong reign of the eighteenth century; of Britain and Germany in the nineteenth century; and of the United States in the twentieth. China now aspires to educate global elites. For the twenty-½rst century, then, are Chinese universities poised for global leadership? On Sunday, April 21, 2013, a crowd gathered at the Great Hall of the People in central Beijing to inau- gurate a new college at Tsinghua University. Letters WILLIAM C.

  • Cultivating Citizens with Confucian Cosmopolitanism: Defining the Purpose of Liberal Arts Education in the Asian Context
    Front. Educ. China 2020, 15(4): 564–587 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11516-020-0027-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Baoyan CHENG, Donghui ZHANG Cultivating Citizens with Confucian Cosmopolitanism: Defining the Purpose of Liberal Arts Education in the Asian Context © Higher Education Press and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany 2020 Abstract In contrast to the continued decline of liberal arts education in the US, there has been a revived interest in liberal arts education in Asian countries in recent years. Grounded in a comprehensive understanding of the central tenets of liberal arts education in the West, this paper looks into the struggles Asian countries face in their exploration of liberal arts education and provides a direction for Asian countries in their efforts to practice liberal arts education. This paper establishes the deep connections between humanistic approaches of the Confucian tradition and liberal arts education by pointing to a common ground for the education of humanity. Ultimately, the purpose of liberal arts education, in the East as well as in the West, should be the liberation of human beings from the constraints of ignorance, prejudice and traditional customs and through the cultivation of a cosmopolitan morality that emphasizes unity, solidarity and the fusion of humankind. Chinese universities should contemplate the purpose and value of higher education in the 21st century and tap into the rich resources of Confucianism in order to give its liberal arts education a “soul.” Keywords liberal arts education, Confucianism, cosmopolitanism,
