Xincheng Shen received his B.A. and M.A. in China in Archaeology and Museum Studies at Peking University and Fudan University. He received an M.A. in Museum Anthropology at Columbia University in the city of New York, and had worked for American Museum of Natural History, 9/11 National Memorial, and New York Historical Society. He is now a Ph.D student in urban history of East Asia at Georgia Institute of Technology.
