Jonathan Tang is an adjunct instructor for the MA in Asia Pacific Studies Program, where he taught from 2014-2018, and has now returned to in 2022. After graduating with an AB in Social Studies from Harvard College in 2004, he received an MA in Regional Studies: East Asia from Columbia University, studied Mandarin Chinese for two years, and worked at a Beijing-based business school for two more before starting his doctoral studies on Twentieth-Century Chinese History at University of California, Berkeley.
