Yuhua Wang Named Harvard College Professor

Faculty Associate Yuhua Wang, the Ford Foundation Professor of Modern China Studies at Harvard University, was among the five faculty members being awarded a Harvard College Professorship for excellence in undergraduate teaching. “The Harvard College Professorship was launched in 1997 with a gift from John and Frances Loeb,” writes the Harvard Gazette. “Professors hold the title for five years and receive support for a research fund, summer salary, or semester of paid leave.” Wang was praised for encouraging intellectual debates in his classroom, a format he describes as being useful for gaining deeper understanding of critical questions.
