Dr. Joachim Kurtz teaches at Emory in the Department of Russian and East Asian Languages and Cultures. His current research interests are, first, the history of Chinese-Western exchanges from the 17th century to the present, with special emphasis on the history of science and thought and issues of translation. His second area of interest is modern Chinese political thought, which includes a collaborative project studying similarities and differences in Chinese, Japanese and Korean nationalisms. Dr. Kurtz earned his Ph.D. in Chinese Studies at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
