Overview
During the past few decades this discipline has come under influence of area studies, China studies, but the characteristic trait of Sinology is that research within this discipline is largely based on materials written in Chinese. This Sinology (Chinese) programme is offered at Uppsala University.
Research
At the Department of Linguistics and Philology research is primarily focused around the following areas of Sinology: older and modern Chinese literature and literature theory, Chinese media and freedom of the press, China's ethnic minorities and minority languages in China, cross-border ethnic groups, historical sociolinguistics, teacher trainee education in Chinese, gender issues and migrant worker issues. We even offer doctoral studies in the subject of Sinology.
