Neysun Mahboubi Appointed Director of the Penn Project on the Future of U.S. China Relations

The Penn Project on the Future of U.S.-China Relations, launched at the University of Pennsylvania in 2020 with funding from Penn Global’s China Research and Engagement Fund and the Henry Luce Foundation, has received a generous grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York to build and expand on its mission of elevating new voices in U.S.-China policy discussion. The Project, which originally was hosted by the Center for the Study of Contemporary China (CSCC) in Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences, will now be hosted by Penn Global and directed by Neysun Mahboubi. A leading scholar of Chinese law, with extensive on-the-ground experience in China, Mahboubi previously served as a Research Scholar at CSCC and continues to host the CSCC Podcast, which features in-depth conversations on Chinese politics, economics, law, and society.

“We are thrilled by the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York for the Penn Project on the Future of U.S.- China, and to welcome the Project and Neysun Mahboubi to Penn Global, where he will help us continue to uphold our goal of producing research for global impact,” stated Amy Gadsden, Associate Vice Provost for Global Initiatives.
