Research

Professor Riegel is currently working on two book projects. The first is a translation of the Mozi 墨子 that includes the “core chapters” and the “Mohist Analects” but not the military chapters or the writings associated with early Chinese logic and related subjects. Professor Riegel’s other project is a book-length study of the archaeology of the First Emperor’s burial mound. This is a collaborative project with Duan Qingbo 段清波, Chief Archaeologist of the Survey Team at the site of the First Emperor’s burial mound and adjacent areas.

Teaching

During the Spring Semester, 2006, Professor Riegel is leading a seminar on the 18^th century poet, Yuan Mei 袁枚. The seminar is focusing on Yuan Mei’s Zibuyu 子不語, a collection of tales of the supernatural, as well as on his “cookbook,” the Suiyuan shidan 隨園食單.
