James Carter
Professor and Chair of the History Department at Saint Joseph's University
James Carter is the Professor and Chair of the History Department at Saint Joseph’s University. His research and teaching interests focus on the history of late-imperial and modern China, especially interactions between China and the West during the modern period. His major publications include: Champions Day: The End of Old Shanghai. New York: W.W. Norton, 2020; Heart of Buddha, Heart of China: The Life of Tanxu, a Twentieth-Century Monk. New York: Oxford University Press, 2011; Creating a Chinese Harbin: Nationalism in an International City, 1916-1932. Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 2002.
This event features a book talk by James Carter on his latest book, Champions Day: The End of Old Shanghai, in which he recaptures the history of Old Shanghai by looking closely at events that took place on one single day—November 12, 1941, weeks before Pearl Harbor. Following his book talk, Professor Carter will hold a mentoring session, at which interested graduate students at UCI and beyond are welcome to attend to share their research projects and receive guidance and advice from Professor Carter.
