Scholar of John Dewey's reception in China, author of a 2005
dissertation/book-length study on Dewey's time in and influence on China
(cited in this vault's sources as "John Dewey as a Learner in China").

Matters to this vault as the foundational China-side Dewey scholar the
Ambedkar/Hu-Shih/China comparison rests on: her distinctive middle name is
the one term Google Books' search-index of Scott Stroud's 2023 book
positively locates in the book's own scanned text (page 278, next to a
"Hu Shih" hit on page 279), making her the load-bearing figure behind this
vault's strongest (if still page-hit-only) evidence that the book's
endnotes engage named China-side Dewey scholarship at all.
