Antonia Finnane

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonia Finnane FAHA (born 11 December 1952)[1] is professor of Chinese History at the University of Melbourne. Her research interests have been in migration from China to Australia, particularly by Jewish refugees and in urban and cultural change in China, concentrating on consumption and clothing.[2][3] Finnane retired from her teaching position at the end of 2018 following a career spanning 33 years.[4]

Education

Sydney-born Finnane graduated from the University of Sydney with a BA (Hons). She moved to Canberra, where she completed her PhD at the Australian National University. Her thesis was "Prosperity and Decline under the Qing: Yangzhou and its hinterland, 1644–1810".[5]

Career

Finnane has been awarded grants by the Australian Research Council for three Discovery projects: "Consumption in Late Imperial China", "Fashionable times" and "The fate of the artisan in revolutionary China: tailors in Beijing, 1930s–1960s".[6] Her work has also been funded by two University of Melbourne grants, one in which she compared luxury in Renaissance Italy with Ming China and the second a study of "Memory and Commemoration in Asia and the West".[6]

Finnane has contributed articles to many journals, including The Journal of Asian Studies, Asian Studies Review, Journal of Economic and Social History of the Orient, Modern China and The China Quarterly.[7]
