Guy S. Alitto is an Associate Professor at the University of Chicago, holding appointments in the Department of History and Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations. His email is galitto@uchicago.edu. He specializes in Modern Chinese intellectual and social history, labor history, and the Chinese Communist movement. His research integrates local histories (e.g., Zouping county in Shandong, the Liang family of Guilin) with broader themes like political-social dynamics and cultural modernization debates.
Alitto’s research interests focus on village/county-level histories, family narratives, and social phenomena like banditry (1880–1950). He emphasizes connections between political/social realms and intellectual/cultural expressions, particularly in how local cultures shape national identity. His work also explores contemporary Confucian thought and its relevance to modernity, as seen in his 2015 book Contemporary Confucianism in Thought and Action.
His publications span from 1986 to 2015, addressing topics ranging from Liang Shuming’s philosophical legacy to anti-modernization trends. Courses taught include History of Modern China, Readings in Literary Chinese, and Reading Qing Documents.
