Bio/CV: 

Hua Fan now is an assistant researcher at the Institute of Higher Education at Yunnan University in China (YNU), and the deputy director of Institute of Comparative and International Education Research(ICIER) at Yunnan university. He received his PhD in Education from Xiamen university in China in 2014. He has recently focused mainly on using the research tools of social science to reveal the inter-related causes of education quality and academic experience of students learning and research in interdisciplinary centers/ departments/programs in World-top universities, considering differences across the lines of university group, gender, class, geography, sexuality, et cetera. He believes in an intersectional and interdisciplinary approach is critical to recognizing the complexity of the contemporary interdisciplinary education programs in world-class universities. He has used a variety of social science methods – participant observation, in-depth interviewing, survey research, field experiments to shed light on this question in perspective of mixed research methodology.

Since his Ph.D. graduation, he has been engaged in a long-term research on the imperial examination system in ancient China and educational examinations, such a research that will recently shift from a literature-based historical approach to a quantitative-based historical research mainly from a sociological approach and perspective. Recently, he has been working on a book manuscript about the social history of the imperial examination system in Qing Dynasty of China.
