Teaching and Research Interests
Dr. Jing Lin is professor of international education policy at University of Maryland, College Park. She received her doctoral degree from University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) in 1990. Jing Lin has done extensive research on Chinese education, culture and society. In particular, she has systematically studied social changes in China and educational reforms undergoing in that country since 1978. She is the author of four books on Chinese education: The Red Guard’s Path to Violence (1991), Education in Post-Mao China (1993), The Opening of the Chinese Mind (1994), and Social Transformation and Private Education in China (1999). Her fifth book related to Chinese education, is entitled Portraits of 21st Century Chinese Universities: In the Move to Mass Higher Education, co-edited by Ruth Hayhoe, Jun Li, Jing Lin, and Qiang Zha. This book is based on her current research with a group of colleague on higher education expansion and the pursuit of world class excellence in China, focusing on policies, civil society and dialogues of culture in the process of change.
Jing Lin’s research and teaching also concentrate on peace education, environmental education, and spirituality education. She published Love, Peace and Wisdom in Education: Vision for Education in the 21st Century in 2006, and a book she co-edits, entitled Educators as Peace Makers: Transforming Education for Global Peace, appears in 2008. Jing Lin further co-edits two book series, one on Peace Education, and another on Transforming Education for the Future, both published by Information Age Publishing.
On her activist side, Prof Lin founded and chaired the Peace Education Special Interest Group for the Comparative and International Education Society for two years. She has been the newsletter editor of the Peace Education Special Interest Group for American Educational Association.
Prof Lin is currently a co-chair leading a group of faculty, staff and students on Initiatives on Education for Peace, Cooperation and Development at University of Maryland. The goals of the Initiatives include a university wide Peace Studies Minor Program, study abroad on peace education, A Semester on Peace, and a Network for Paradigm Shift in Higher Education for the 21st Century. In related efforts, Dr. Lin teaches courses on Gender and Education, Spirituality and Education, East Meets West, and Ecological and Environmental Education.
