- Fields of Interest: modern Chinese History, with emphasis
on social and economic history
Lynda Bell was born in St. Louis,
Missouri, and spent much of her youth figuring out how she could
get to a more glamorous locale. After living in New Haven, Connecticut;
Upsala, Sweden; Los Angeles; Nanjing and Beijing in the People's
Republic of China; Taibei, Taiwan; and Chicago, she has finally
decided to settle down in Riverside. She arrived at UCR in the
fall of 1989, after spending six years teaching at the University
of Illinois at Chicago. Her Ph.D. is from UCLA in modern Chinese
history, and her research interests and publications focus on
the social and economic history of late nineteenth and early
twentieth century China. She is currently completing a book
manuscript entitled China's Other Silk Road, a study of interrelationships
between social/political events and modern silk industry development
in Wuxi county. Her plans for future research include a study
of women, local courts, and family law in early twentieth-century
China.
