如何评判一个教授是否是好导师?这个判断虽然见仁见智,但也有一些可供参考的依据。比如教授的科研能力,科研方向前景,network能力,对学生的塑造培养能力,个性亲和力和人格魅力等。科研路上,跟对导师至关重要。一个好的导师充当的是最重要的启发者、引导者和支持者的角色,他会通过言传身教培养学生自身的学习研究能力,能在研究难以推进的困境中帮学生指引出路,能给学生在拓展network中提供大量的方便,会在朝夕相处的科研生活中给学生带来美好的体验和感受,能给学生今后的发展、交流、工作都带来正面的影响。而本文将要介绍的杜克大学历史系教授James Chappel,就是这样一位备受学生喜爱的神仙导师!

指导课题:战争时代的欧洲历史研究


好评率100%,彻底征服学生的神仙教授

根据流传在美国学生之间的教授档案——Rate My Professor 网站,Prof. James Chappel的总体评分高达4.9(满分是5),上过教授课的学生都被圈粉了,不约而同地选择了要再上他的课!


此外,学生给予James Chappel教授的都是“精彩的讲座”、“给予良好的反馈”、“准备好阅读”、“明确的评分标准”、“欢闹”、“关心”等标签,而且每个人都不约而同地花式夸教授,简直就是教授的迷弟迷妹!


Chappel is an amazing professor. If you have the chance to take a class with him, do so. There is quite a bit of reading, but all the reading is very interesting. There are short quizzes, once per unit that are really easy if you pay attention to the lectures. Just a great overall class, and Chappel says some hilarious things.

HR/Genocide was a pretty good class and Chappel was able to provide unique insights on the topic. This class is a good deal- Chappel genuinely wants all kids to learn material/get good grades. I never felt like the reading was too much and the final paper is fine. Chappel builds in time into class to do the final paper/presentation.

Great professor, great class! He really cares about students and he's one of those rare history professors who truly considers the opinions of his students. We would debate the merits and downsides to differing points of view and he would never impose his own view on us. A bit of reading, but don't worry because it's interesting stuff.

This is one of the most memorable courses I've taken at Duke! Professor Chappel is an amazing professor who knows how to deliver an entertaining lecture that is well-structured and thought provoking. He also cares deeply about his students and wants them to become know how historians think. I would definitely take the class again.

Prof Chappel is very knowledgeable &passionate. He also makes his lectures very engaging and interesting! There is quite a lot of reading but if you keep up to date and go to class (participation matters), the class is not hard. There are some quizzes but they're very straightforward and he gives great feedback on essays. Would strongly recommend.

Professor Chappel is great! You can tell he really wants every student to do well in his class. He's always responsive to emails and willing to meet outside of class for assistance on essays, etc. There's a ton of reading and both an in-class final and 12 page essay for our final grade. But, if you do the work, you should easily get an A.

Dr. Chappel is a very understanding professor and knows how to make students study without overwhelming them. His lectures are amazing and he spices them up with some humor. His tests are easy as long as you listen to his lectures; lots of reading but they're manageable and engaging. He is an extremely helpful professor and is always there for you.

I don't even like History that much but I LOVED this class. He's very passionate about the subject matter and is always willing to meet with you outside of class. His lectures were really interesting and I learned so much! He doesn't hand out A's but getting a good grade is absolutely possible. Quizzestestsshort assignments are very manageable.

Class - Europe in the Twentieth Century; amazing professor, well versed and all that. He also showed us a lot of the other sides of history; he was by no means an apologist for Nazism or Fascism, but some of the most interesting parts of the class were spent discussing the very legitimate (contextual) rationales that people had for them.

历经4大名校的科研大佬

学生的眼睛是雪亮的,作为一个备受学生喜爱的教授,除了要具备亲切有趣热情体贴等魅力之外,当然还必须是精通本专业的基础理论,了解最新的学术成果,具有丰富的科研实践经验,熟悉教育教学的客观规律的“大师”,James Chappel教授实至名归!


James Chappel教授本科就读于哈弗福德学院历史系,后在哥大研究现代欧洲历史,获得哥大的硕博学位。先后曾在哥大及芝加哥大学任教,2013年开始在杜克大学历史系任教至今。

他的主要兴趣是现代欧洲思想史,关注的主题是宗教、福利和家庭。已在许多国际核心期刊及学术会议上发表了诸多论文及学术文章,参与编撰了很多历史学专著。除了学术领域,James Chappel教授也会写时事政治评论及书评,他还在The Nation, Dissent及 The Washington Post等更受欢迎的刊物上发表过文章。


2018年哈佛大学出版社出版了他的个人专著Catholic Modern: The Challenge of Totalitarianism and the Remaking of the Church。这本书主要讲述了20世纪20年代到60年代之间欧洲天主教徒的思想史,重点讲述了他们对家庭、经济和国家的概念。

迄今为止这本书已经引起了世界各地众多知名报刊杂志的关注及评论,并给予了极高的赞誉,包括《选择》、《出版人周报》、《泰晤士高等教育》、《波士顿评论》;《天主教先驱报》、《当代欧洲历史》等。这本书也获得了美国南方历史协会(Southern Historical Association)颁发的“史密斯欧洲历史奖”。


从求学时代开始,James Chappel教授就几乎每年都会拿到各种fellowships、grants和honors。他不仅现在是杜克大学根据教学评估排名前5%的教授,在哥大做研究生导师时,就已获得了哥大核心课程2011—2012年度的当代文明教学奖,这一奖项每年只颁发给一位优秀的青年教师。

哥大核心课程致力于提供出色的教学,将学生转变为具有批判能力和自主权的公民。哥大官网这样写道:

我们的研究生导师是核心课程中最敬业,最有才华的老师之一。我们认可这些杰出的年轻教师,这个奖项是一种鼓励他们致力于教学的方式,并承认他们对核心课程的贡献。


他还曾被哈佛大学以优秀毕业成就身份邀请,参加学术分享会,分享个人的工作经历。

因科研与中国结缘

其实,在决定从事历史研究之前,James Chappel教授曾在中国短暂工作过一段时间,了解多元文化,了解宗教给历史以及人们的生活带来的影响。

而在2020年春季CIS线上科研项目中,James Chappel教授将聚焦世界大战时期的欧洲,带领学生研究20世纪世界大战在欧洲产生的契机,探讨今天的欧洲和世界是如何形成的。


澳大利亚学者约翰·赫斯特在《欧洲极简史》中这样写道:

欧洲文明是独特的,因为它一直是唯一能让世界其他地区马首是瞻的文明。它之所以做得到这点,是靠着不断地征服和定居、强大的经济实力和思想观念,以及拥有其他人向往的东西。今天,全球所有国家普遍运用的科学发现和科技都起源于它,而科学本身就是欧洲的发明之一。


欧洲历史可以说是繁琐版的世界历史。我们平常概念里的“世界史”,其实大多数时候都是在说“欧洲史”!向远追溯,欧洲的古希腊古罗马文明,是人类当今社会制度和精神思想的起点。往近处说,欧洲一直是现代文明的领跑者,极大地影响了当今世界的历史进程。只有了解了欧洲的过去,我们才能更好地认识当代世界,把控未来。


如果你对真正的“权力的游戏”——20世纪的欧洲历史,以及国际关系、政治经济、社会政策、宗教思想文化等感兴趣,这门课绝对不会让你失望!⬇⬇⬇

战争时代的欧洲历史研究

课程简介

欧洲是欧亚大陆的一小部分,但不知何故,它是20世纪最具爆炸性的全球冲突的中心:第一次世界大战、第二次世界大战和冷战。为什么这样呢?本课程将以这个问题为契机,来了解今天的欧洲和世界是如何形成的。它将探索在二十世纪灾难时代(正如一位历史学家所称)充斥着欧洲的个性、意识形态和战争。James Chappel教授将和学生一起讨论军事史、艺术史、社会史和政治史。试图理解二十世纪的欧洲如何产生了一些史上最具破坏性的战争,以及到最后欧洲如何成为一个大体上和平和繁荣的地方。


本课程的目标有两个。首先,了解震撼了二十世纪的全球冲突的基本原因和后果,这些冲突起源于欧洲。如果不了解这一点,我们的当代世界就没有意义。其次,教授将教你如何像一个历史学家那样思考、阅读和写作——这并不那么容易!
