Typology of academic disciplines in the Modern China Biographical Database
Description
This table presents the bilingual typology of academic disciplines used in the Modern China Biographical Database. It is based mainly on the typology created by Yuan T'ung-li in his three bibliographical volumes about the doctoral dissertations by Chinese students in the United States, the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. We adapted this typology to include other disciplines that were present in historical sources. There are three levels: - Level 2: name of the academic discipline in English and in Chinese - Level 1: first level of classification and clustering of academic disciplines in English and in Chinese - Level 0: higher level of classification and clustering of academic disciplines in English and in Chinese Main sources: Yuan, T’ung-li.
