Session:
East Asian Languages and Civilizations
Edward Shaughnessy is the Lorraine J. and Herrlee G. Creel Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. Shaughnessy is a scholar of ancient China who studies China's archaeologically recovered texts as well as the literary traditions in which they were born. His research interests lie heavily in bronze inscriptions and the Zhou Yi, both of which reached their full maturity toward the end of the Western Zhou period (1045 to 771 B.C.E.).
