Chenyu Wang is an anthropologist of education whose research explores how education becomes a moral language for imagining moral personhood, critique, and social change across borders. Her current book project, Chinese Students, American Ideals, traces the transnational life of liberal arts education between China and the United States, drawing on her ethnographic fieldwork in Beijing, rural Hunan, and U.S. liberal arts colleges. It examines how Chinese students and educators reframe liberal arts ideals-such as open inquiry, inclusion, and civic engagement-as they navigate the promises and contradictions of liberal arts education in different contexts. Her work reveals how the liberal arts offer a grammar of moral life that endures even when its ideals are recognized to be contradictory. Wang also writes on student activism and the politics of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
