Fall 12___D___ Winter 13__D____ Spring 13___D___ Summer 13__D____ I. Scholarship, Professional Activities, Department and University Service Please attach an up-to-date CV that highlights in bold or otherwise calls out the scholarly, professional and service activities and accomplishments of the year covered by this report. This should include all published scholarly work, conference presentations, invited lectures, major honors and awards, university committee or other administrative duties, and service on journals, professional organizations or with public or private agencies. If the CV does not include research proposals written and submitted in the last year (with the outcomes) list those in this section. Faculty in the arts (art, drama, literature, music) should list major creative works that were published or performed in the past year. Do not include copies of your scholarly or creative works. The new book listed on my c.v., Meide jiaolü: Songdai shidafu shenmen sixiang yu zhuiqiu 美的焦慮：宋代士大夫 審美思想與追求 (Anxiety over beauty: aesthetic thought and pursuits of Northern Song literati) is a Chinese translation of my book The Problem of Beauty first published in 2006. The preparation of the Chinese translation took five years and involved the work of four different translators and an editor. I was involved in the production of this volume at every stage, checking the translation, making corrections and revisions, imposing consistency between the different translators, rewriting footnotes for the Chinese reader, and, finally, ensuring that the translation conformed to the house style of the Shanghai Ancient Books publisher. II. Teaching & Advising A. Identify all courses (both H&S and non-H&S) taught and the enrollments. Indicate which courses were part of the regular teaching load; if the number of courses taught was less than the standard teaching load for your department, please explain. Fall 12: CHINGEN 91 East Asian Traditions: China enrollment 20 reg load Winter 13: CHINGEN 160/260 New Directions Study Poetry & Literati Culture enrollment 8 reg load Winter 13: CHINLIT 166/266 Ci Poetry enrollment 12 reg load 1 of 3 In 2012-13 I had a one-course reduction in the normal load of 4 courses, because it was my start-up year at Stanford. B. Describe any new courses taught or major course revisions made. Are you planning new initiatives for your classes? If yes, please identify. The 3 courses taught last year were all new, either for the department (CHINGEN 160/260, CHINLIT 166/266) or for me (CHINGEN 91). I am repeating CHINGEN 91 in the current year, and also teaching 3 other new departmental courses: CHINLIT 130/230 Lyrical and Local Prose Fall 13 CHINGEN 151/251 Manuscripts, Texts, Printing Winter 14 CHINLIT 135/235 Tales of the Strange Winter 14 A goal of these new offerings is to expand the pre-modern Chinese studies curriculum in ways that accord with new directions in the field, particularly in better integrating Chinese poetry into the larger context of literature generally and literary culture, giving attention to the interplay of genres, and to factors that affected the production and circulation of texts of all kinds in pre-modern China. C. Indicate the number of undergraduate and graduate student advisees: # of students ‹Undergraduate Advisees ‹ Primary PhD Advisees 1 ‹ Other Graduate Advisees 4 (M.A.) D.
