1. 学术论坛主题发言：2025 年 4 月 17 日，在北亚利桑那大学教育学院访问学者论坛（NAU Faculty Sabbatical Talks）宣讲《儿童能动性与儿童诗歌》(Children’s Agency and Children’s Poetics)论文，分享中国视角下儿童文学研究新思考，获国际同行高度认可。
Abstract
This paper centers on the theme of children’s agency in children’s poetry of the early 20th century in China. Through close textual analysis and historical contextualization, it examines how children’s poetry conceptualizes and represents children’s autonomy, initiative, and participatory power in his poetic works. The study argues that children’s poetics in the early 20th century China places children’s subjectivity at its core, highlighting children’s capacity for independent thinking, active judgment, and creative expression in real-life situations. Rather than treating children as passive recipients of knowledge or moral indoctrination, the poetics encourage children to observe, reflect, and act upon their lived experiences, thus affirming their dynamic role in self-development and social engagement. By foregrounding the idea of children’s agency, this research reveals distinctive agentic insight into childhood and child development, which transcends conventional adult-centered narratives. It further demonstrates how literary practice reshapes the representation of childhood in modern Chinese literature by emphasizing agency, authenticity, and experiential learning. This study contributes to the international conversation on children’s agency in cross-cultural contexts, enriches the scholarly understanding of modern Chinese children’s literature, and offers meaningful implications for contemporary childhood studies.
2. 国际会议论文：2025年6月12日，撰写的《陶行知20世纪早期儿童文学中的进步教育与革命美学》论文在国际儿童文学协会年会会议全文宣读交流，并收录于当年北亚利桑那大学成果网站上，在国际学术平台发出中国声音，推动中外儿童文学研究对话交流。
Abstract
Tao Xingzhi, a visionary Chinese educator and philosopher in the early 20th century, advocated for a progressive “life education” philosophy that recognized the child as the core of educational development while also preparing them to be active agents of the society. This study explores how Tao Xingzhi's progressive pedagogy, as articulated in his Children's Poetics, demonstrates the model of revolutionary aesthetics in children’s literature in the early 20th century China. We argue that by advocating for a holistic, action-oriented approach, Tao’s poetry was characterized by a fusion of active romanticism and revolutionary realism, reflecting a deep commitment to preparing children to be active participants in societal evolution. His work not only transformed educational practices from traditional didactic methods to a more empowering and engaging pedagogy but also played a crucial role in shaping a new social consciousness during a period of significant cultural and political change. The findings of this research contribute to the understanding of Tao Xingzhi's legacy in educational reform and literary expression and suggest that his revolutionary aesthetics reflects the transformative spirit of his time.
