Recently, the doctoral dissertations of Liu Xuan (Tutor: Professor Ye Changhai) and Wu Hanxian (Tutor: Professor Lu Jun), Class of 2017 doctoral graduates of the Shanghai Theatre Academy (STA), were selected for the National Social Science Fund of China’s late-stage funding support in 2019. In 2019, a total of 57 projects of art studies were approved for the later-stage funding support of the National Social Science Fund of China, including 2 key projects, 48 general projects and 7 excellent doctoral dissertation publication projects.
The late-stage funding support program of the National Social Science Fund of China aims to encourage the philosophy and social science workers to carry forward the fine style of study, devote themselves to scholarly studies, carry out solid research, strive to produce high-quality works with the value of academic inheritance and innovation, and give full play to the exemplary and guiding role of the National Social Science Fund of China in the prosperity and development of philosophy and social sciences. The program mainly supports the outstanding academic achievements of the basic research of philosophy and social sciences that have been mostly completed, but have not been published. It mainly supports scholarly monographs, but also a small number of data compilations with high academic value and reference books with high academic content. Starting from 2019, the program is divided into three categories, i.e. the key project, general project and outstanding doctoral dissertation publication project t. Among them, the category of outstanding doctoral dissertation publication projects mainly supports the outstanding doctoral dissertations with deep research, high degree of innovation and great potential for development, focusing especially on supporting the research work of outstanding young scholars, with the grant of RMB 200,000 yuan per project.
The doctoral dissertations of STA doctoral graduates would not have been selected for the National Social Science Fund of China’s late-stage funding support without STA’s training and the tutors’ guidance. It is also the result of the quality assurance that the STA Graduate School has been sticking to in all aspects of postgraduate education. It is hoped that all current graduate students at STA will take the students winning the funding support as an example, and will devote themselves to learning, strive to broaden their academic horizons, constantly achieve breakthroughs in academic research, carry forward the spirit of the new era, and make their own contribution to the improvement of STA’s academic research level and first-class postgraduate education.
