Jeremy Murray, professor of history, teaches and writes about modern China, and has published work on Hainan island, Asian cultural traditions and pop culture. His books include "China's Lonely Revolution: The Local Communist Movement of Hainan Island, 1926-1956" (SUNY, 2017), "Asian Cultural Traditions" (with Carolyn Brown Heinz, Waveland, 2019), and "China Tripping: Encountering the Everyday in the People's Republic" (edited with Perry Link and Paul Pickowicz, Rowman & Littlefield, 2019).

The Modern China Lecture Series, coordinated by Murray, was initiated to promote awareness of important issues related to China for those on the CSUSB campus and in the community. In the series of lectures, workshops, film screenings and roundtable forums since January 2014, China scholars from UC San Diego, UC Riverside, the Claremont Colleges, UCLA, USC, UC Irvine and other institutions have visited the CSUSB campus to share their expertise and opinions. Speakers in the series have included specialists in history, economics, political science, philosophy, finance, security studies, literature, anthropology and other fields.

Murray is also the faculty coordinator of the CSUSB Master of Arts in history program and helps coordinate the CSUSB Conversations on Race and Policing program. With fellow history professor Tiffany Jones, he is a faculty advisor for the award-winning student-run history journal, History in the Making. He was also a Wilson Center China Fellow for the 2022-23 year.

Murray received his Ph.D. in modern Chinese history from the University of California, San Diego; his MA in East Asian languages and cultures from Columbia University; and his BA in East Asian studies from State University of New York, Albany.
