Stephen Lee Field, Ph.D.
- J.K. and Ingrid Lee Endowed Professor of 中国人 Language & 文学 , Modern Languages and 文学s
Stephen Field came to 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 from the College of William & Mary in 1990 to found the 中国人 program. Subsequently, in 1995, 澳门金沙线上赌博官网 became the second of only two universities in Texas to boast a major in 中国人.
Raised on a farm in West Texas, Professor Field developed an early interest in nature, and then discovered nature poetry in college, where he majored in English romanticism. His study of 中国人 in college was inspired by his reading of the Daoist philosopher, Lao Tzu. His dissertation was a study of the “field and garden” poets in ancient China, a branch of nature poetry akin to pastoral in the West. He is now a specialist in pre-Qin 中国人 literature and an authority on early 中国人 cosmology as it pertains to the ancient art of 风水. His web site, FengshuiGate.com, gathers popular essays he has written on various aspects of 风水 as well as his translation of the earliest extant 风水 classic, the 摘要, or Book of Burial.
He is active in the Association for Asian Studies, especially its regional arm, the Southwest Conference on Asian Studies, where he has served on the board of directors for many years.
