Professor Jing Tsu, a cultural historian and literary scholar at Yale, will explore reasons behind the increasing friction between China and the United States in a semester-long lecture series in which members of the New Haven and Yale communities will learn alongside Yale students, who can take the course for credit.
“China in Six Keys” will offer a “deep dive” into China’s rich cultural and historical background through a contemporary lens. To learn more about the 2023 DeVane Lectures, read the recent Yale News interview with Jing Tsu.

The DeVane Lecture series was established in 1969 to honor William Clyde DeVane, dean of Yale College from 1939 to 1963. The last DeVane Lecture course was “Power and Politics in Today’s World,” taught by Ian Shapiro, Sterling Professor of Political Science, in 2019. The lecture series was suspended during 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
