Lingnan scholars and publications win international awards
For his outstanding editorial work in the Journal of Chinese Literature and Culture; PRISM: Theory and Modern Chinese Literature, and the Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies, Prof Zongqi CAI, Chair Professor of the Department of Chinese, has been named by the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) as 2020 Distinguished Editor, the highest honour given by the CELJ. Prof Cai is also the first editor of a journal of Asian
literature and culture to receive this award.
The Lingnan Journal of Chinese Studies, where Prof Cai is Editor-in-Chief, was listed in the Taiwan Humanities Citation Index Core journal by the Research Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences. This is yet another achievement confirming the high quality of Lingnan scholarships since the Journal of Asian Public Policy, edited by Prof Joshua Ka Ho MOK, Vice-President, was included in the prestigious Social Sciences Citation Index in October 2020.
Also in January 2021, Prof Larry QIU, Chair Professor of the Department of Economics, won the T.K. Ann International Trade Award’s Excellent Paper Award for “Trade Liberalization and Domestic Vertical Integration: Evidence from China”, the research paper he co-authored with his former students, Prof Qing LIU of the Renmin University of China and Assistant Professor Chaoqun ZHAN of Lingnan (University) College at Sun Yat-sen University. Prof Qiu’s was judged one of the best four.
Prof Darrell ROWBOTTOM, Professor of the Department of Philosophy, is one of only three Hong Kong scholars who received “The 8th Outstanding Scientific Research Output Award (Humanities and Social Sciences) for Higher Education Institutions - 2nd Class Award" from our Ministry of Education. His winning work, Extending the Argument from Unconceived Alternatives: Observations, Models, Predictions, Explanations, Methods, Instruments, Experiments, and Values, was supported by the Humanities and Social Sciences Prestigious Fellowship Scheme from the Research Grants Council in 2013-14.
