Margaret Mih Tillman is associate professor of Chinese history and Director of Asian Studies at Purdue University. Her first book, Raising China’s Revolutionaries, explored the cultural ramifications of the introduction of kindergartens to China in the early twentieth century. Her current book project, Tested, charts the way that Chinese educational psychologists sought to create a scientific and non-colonial system of education in part through improving the IQ and other testing mechanisms for school-aged children in China from the 1920s to the 1940s. She also plans to write a book on China’s engagement with UNESCO.
