Elya Jun Zhang, History Professor and Map Lover<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maps, foreign loans, and East Asian History are my specialty. In my research and teaching, I explore the financial and spatial history of capitalism, with China as my corner stone. I have taught fourteen different Asia-related courses and have completed a book manuscript on China\u2019s foreign borrowing from America. As a teacher-scholar, I have also systematically tested the integration of scientific map-making into undergraduate research and have attracted 198 students from 51 majors to experiment outside their comfort zones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
