From the John King Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies:
The Fairbank Center and Harvard China Fund are pleased to announce the appointment of Dan Murphy as our new Executive Director.
Dan joins the Fairbank Center and Harvard China Fund from the Yale Center Beijing, where as the inaugural program director he developed China-related programs in Beijing and New Haven.
“We’re thrilled that Dan Murphy is joining the Fairbank Center and Harvard China Fund at an exciting time in the Center’s history. Dan’s expertise and enthusiasm for Chinese Studies will certainly be an asset to our mission as a world-leading center for Chinese Studies.” – Michael Szonyi, Director of the Fairbank Center
From 2008 to 2014, Dan worked at the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations (NCUSCR) in New York. His major responsibility was the Public Intellectuals Program (PIP), a project that connects America’s next generation of leading China scholars with policymakers and the media, as well as with each other. Notable PIP alumni include the Fairbank Center’s Director Michael Szonyi, Associates Sheena Chestnut Greitens, Andrew Erickson, and Sabina Knight, and Alumni Martin Dimitrov, Denise Ho, and Shellen Wu.
As Director of Special Initiatives Dan also conceived of and directed a variety of multi-year two way exchanges, led senior American Congressional staff on study visits to China, and spearheaded successful grant initiatives that were funded by the State Department and private foundations.
“Thanks to the efforts of generations of China scholars, the Fairbank Center has been at the forefront of the study of China for more than 60 years and is well-positioned to continue that leadership role into the future. I couldn’t be more pleased to serve as the Center’s executive director at such an exciting time.” – Dan Murphy
Dan received a scholarship to pursue graduate studies at the Johns Hopkins University-Nanjing University Center for Chinese and American Studies, where he studied politics. He also holds an M.A. in Chinese Studies from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and a B.A. in English and Chinese Language and Literature from Connecticut College. In 2001, he was a Thomas J. Watson Fellow.
