2. Dongfang Shao, Scholar - Librarian Honored at Humanies Center
Congratulations to Dongfang Shao, Head of the East Asia Library, who will be among those Stanford authors honored at the Stanford Humanities Center on Thursday, March 14th when it presents its "A Celebration of Books." Actually, it is a reception to celebrate books and CDs published by Stanford humanists in 2005.
Dongfang (Ph.D. Hawaii 1994) came to us with a reputation as quite a scholar with several publications already to his credit. This past year, on top of all the work he has been doing as Curator and Head of the East Asia Library and while pursing his MLS at San Jose State University, he has managed to have published his most recent book. It is titled _Wenxian kaoshi yu lishi tanyan_ [Textual Criticism and Historical Inquiry], published by Guangxi Normal University Press (Guilin) this past December. His book covers several themes, including the authentication of ancient Chinese texts and contemporary Chinese sources, hermeneutic analysis of traditional Chinese texts, and the punctuation and reading of ancient Chinese chronology.
Dongfang's grounding in such a wide range of subject areas and time periods is one of the reasons he has continued to have such success as a scholar while contributing so much to the role of the East Asia Library in East Asian studies here at Stanford. We are pleased that one of our own librarians will join with other Stanford authors next Tuesday in this celebration. Please join with me in congratulating Dongfang on the publication of his latest book.
