Education
Jensen studied history at Williams College during the 1970s. [5] In 2011, Jensen said that his interest in studying the history of China began at Williams, where he "became inspired by the courage, tenacity and willfulness of the Chinese people in waging a revolution against poverty, hunger, superlative disadvantage and international resistance to found a new independent socialist republic." [5] Jensen earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1992. [6]
Career
Jensen has been cited as an expert on Chinese history, culture, and politics, [7] as well as Chinese nationalism [8] and religion in Asia. [9] He is also a scholar [10] and critic [11] of Confucius Institutes.
Jensen has been public a critic of China's interpretation of the Hong Kong Basic Law. [12] Jensen has also publicly criticized China's treatment of human rights lawyers, which he has described as "an extra-legal or illegal pattern of apprehending civil rights lawyers whose success in laboring in the courts against the government’s routine." [13]
Confucianism
In his 1998 book, Manufacturing Confucianism: Chinese Traditions and Universal Civilization, Jensen argues that the modern conception of the person of Confucius was invented by the Jesuits. [14] [15]
