On December 22, 2020, Social Sciences in China, a special issue of the National Social Science Fund, published the article New Zealand Maori Literature: from Oral Tradition to English Literature by Professor Liu Luechang from the College of Foreign Languages in USST. This paper is a phased achievement of the general project titled Research on Maori English novels in New Zealand sponsored by Professor Liu. It mainly discusses the historical transformation of Maori literature and its cultural value and social significance from three dimensions: Maori and Maori culture are the products of colonization; urbanization paves the way for the emergence of Maori English literature; Maori writers implant non European experiences to express Maori imagination.
In recent years, in the process of striving to become a first-class university of science and engineering with remarkable characteristics, the College of Foreign Languages has been constantly exploring ideas, integrating resources and adjusting layouts. Relying on the Shanghai Institute of Public Diplomacy established with the Shanghai Public Diplomacy Association, the College of Foreign Languages has taken regional and country studies as a new subject growth point for the future. New Zealand Maori Literature: from Oral Tradition to English Literature published in the special issue of the National Social Science Fund and the research of New Zealand Maori English novel published by the National Social Science Fund are important achievements in the development of the humanities in our university. It has certain enlightenment significance for our university to further explore New Zealand research and even the whole regional country research in the future.
