Chinese Studies
Chinese Studies at Regent College
In recent decades, Vancouver has become an attractive destination for Chinese visitors, including intellectuals pursuing scholarly research. Regent College provides a number of opportunities for Chinese scholars to explore various aspects of Western culture—including Christianity—through research, publications, and courses.
Scholars in Residence
Regent has a long history of hosting scholars from major Chinese universities who are pursuing research projects related to culture, religion, and other fields of study.
Publications
Journal: Regent Review of Christian Thought
Since 1993, we have published an academic journal devoted exclusively to dialogue between Christian faith and Chinese culture. Many Chinese scholars publish their research results or join in academic discussions in this journal, which is read broadly in Chinese academic circles. In 2005, in order to increase the influence of the journal, we moved its publication to China and renamed it the Regent Review of Christian Thought. The Review is published biannually by Shanghai People's Publishers and distributed throughout China. It has been included in key databases used by leading Chinese universities and institutions, such as the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI).
Monograph Series
We also occasionally publish books on topics exploring Christianity in Chinese contexts.
Summer Courses in China
Regent College faculty members frequently teach summer courses at leading universities throughout China. Current and former faculty members who have taught in China through this program include Edwin Hui, Carl Armerding, Loren Wilkinson, Craig Gay, Ross Hastings, Iwan Russell-Jones, and Matthew Lynch.
