| About Center

This research center will build on the strengths cultivated by the College of Liberal Arts over the last three years in the field of global Sinology, establishing a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary research center that will unite professors from around the university, across Taiwan, and indeed around the world, exploring the question of how the East Asian’s humanist traditions can be mobilized to imagine and realize a transcultural future of co-becoming. 
The Center's foundation year is 2006 following the administrative approval of the Center by the University's colleges of Liberal Arts, Science, and Management on 1 August 2007. The Center is with an International Advisory Board, a National Sun Yat-sen University Committee of Advisors, an academic faculty of permanent and term appointments, and administrative staff. The first-level Center for the Humanities within the establishment was abolished on 7 June 2024, and was replaced by the first-level Center for Transcultural Co-Becoming and Global Sinology  within the establishment on 9 August 2024.
