Robert Entenmann graduated from the University of Washington. He earned an M.A. at Stanford and a Ph.D. in History and East Asian Languages at Harvard,
where he was instructor in History in 1980-81. He also spent a year
studying advanced Chinese and Japanese at the Inter-University Program in Chinese
Language and Area Studies in Taiwan. In 1980, two years before coming to St.
Olaf, he married Sarah Johnson, a Carleton graduate. Entenmann's teaching interests include China, Japan, and Southeast
Asia. His current research is on the social history of eighteenth-century Chinese
Catholics, a topic that has taken him to China, France, and Italy for archival
research. He has lectured and given papers on that topic in China and Europe,
and has published several articles, including two chapters in Daniel H. Bays,
ed., Christianity in China (Stanford University Press, 1996). In 1995 he was
field supervisor of St. Olaf's Term in Asia. In May 1997 he was a visiting
scholar at Sichuan University in Chengdu, China. He has served on the board of directors of the Association
for Asian Studies. In 2002-03 he was Benedict Distinguished Visiting Professor at Carleton College. In his free time he
enjoys reading, cooking, and traveling.
He and Sarah have two children, Leah and David.
