Liang Chen and James Lee Publish an Article in 中国社会科学 on Female University Students in Republican-era China
Chen Liang (梁晨) and James Z. Lee (李中清) published an article 《社会转型与中国近代女大学生的教育样态》 in 《中国社会科学》(Social Sciences in China) on the female university students in Republican-era China using the CUSD-ROC databases. Here is the abstract in Chinese and English: 在近代社会转型背景之下，中国女大学生的教育环境和教育选择既与传统中国女性迥异，也与欧美不尽相同。一方面，随着女禁解除,男女同校的教育形式被中国高校普遍采纳，高校女大学生的制度环境较为宽松；另一方面，女大学生的社会来源和地理分布较男生更为集中，女子进入高等教育的门槛明显高于男生，在看似相对宽松的教育环境背后隐藏着更难逾越的阶层限制。大学之门平等向女性开放，是新中国成立后才逐渐发展形成的。这不仅有助于推进近代中国女性教育研究，也为理解全球近代女性平等的发展历程提供了中国经验。 One of the most radical and important social changes in the twentieth century is the opening of tertiary education to women.…

Chen Liang, Bamboo Y. Ren, and James Z. Lee publish a new article in《近代史研究》on the Geographic Origins of University Students During the Republic of China
Chen Liang (梁晨), Bamboo Y. Ren (任韵竹), and James Z. Lee 李中清 published a new article in 《近代史研究》(Modern Chinese History Studies) on the geographic origins of university students during the Republic of China using the CUSD-ROC, CUSD-OS, and CPOD-UE databases. Here is the abstract: 民国大学生量化数据库收录有33所高校近12万学生个人层面的多维度信息，其地理信息包括籍贯、家庭住址、高中驻地和大学驻地四类。借助量化分析方法，对这四类信息进行分别计算和连接比较，能够动态呈现民国大学生群体地理来源的模式、特征和变迁。研究表明，清代科举体制下较均衡的全国性统一人才供给机制在民国时期被彻底打破，大学生的地理来源高度集中于东南地区和中心城市，人才供给规模省际差异显著。同时，在校大学生明显向中心城市集中，这一趋势伴随求学历程不断强化。民国不同地区人口接受新式教育的广度和层次差别甚大，这对国家近代化的进程与特征具有重要影响。 Full reference: Chen Liang 梁晨, Bamboo Y.
