Robert
Entenmann, a native of
Seattle and a University of Washington
graduate, earned an M.A. in East Asian Studies at Stanford and a Ph.D.
in History and East Asian Languages at Harvard. He studied at the
Inter-University Center for Chinese Language Studies in Taiwan,
where he also acted for a couple of days as an extra in a martial arts
feature film. In 1980, he married Sarah Johnson, a Carleton graduate.
He came to St. Olaf two years later. Entenmann's teaching
interests include China,
Japan, Korea, and Southeast
Asia. His current research is on the social history of
Chinese Catholics in eighteenth-century Sichuan, a topic that has taken
him to archives in China,
France, and
the Vatican.
His publications include two chapters in Daniel H. Bays, ed., Christianity in China
(Stanford University Press, 1996) and a contribution to Nicolas
Standaert, ed., Handbook of Christianity in China,
volume 1 (Leiden: Brill, 2001). Five of his essays have been translated
into Chinese by Gu Weimin顧衞民 and published in Yan Huayang 鄢華陽 [Robert Entenmann] et al., Zhongguo Tianzhujiao lishi yiwenji中國天主教歷史譯文集 (A Collection of translated essays on the
history of Chinese Catholicism; Taipei: Yuzhouguang, 2006). In 1995 he
was field supervisor of St. Olaf's Term in Asia
and in 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
and was Benedict Distinguished Visiting Professor at Carleton College
in 2002-2003. Entenmann is vice president and 2008 program chair of the
Midwest Conference on Asian Affairs. He and Sarah have two
children - Leah, a 2006 Carleton
graduate, and David, a St. Olaf student.
