Ma,　Tsang Wing ^{Individualisierte Person Person}

Tsang Wing Ma, historian of ancient China, received his B.A. (2005) and M.Phil. (2007) degrees at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Ph. D. degree (2017) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research utilizes both the received textual tradition as well as newly-excavated texts to study the social, institutional, and material-culture history of early imperial China (221 BCE—220 CE). He has published research articles in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes in the United States, Hong Kong, mainland China and Japan, and presented papers in both regional and international conferences. He is now revising his dissertation, entitled “Scribes in Early Imperial China,” into a book. Incorporating the newly-excavated administrative and legal texts, this study attempts to recover the world of scribes, which was previously overshadowed by that of intellectuals in the received textual tradition. Tsang Wing was member of the BaSaR project from 1 September 2017 to 31 August 2018. He is now Assistant Professor at the University of Macau.
