==Academic career==
Wasserstrom received his B.A from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1982. He received his M.A from Harvard University in 1984 and his Ph.D from the University of California, Berkeley in 1989.〔UC Irvine Department of History, "Jeffrey Wasserstrom."〕
Prior to joining the faculty at the University of California, Irvine in 2006, Wasserstrom taught at Indiana University.〔UC Irvine Department of History, "Jeffrey Wasserstrom."〕 Wasserstrom currently serves as the editor of the ''Journal of Asian Studies''.〔"The Journal of Asian Studies (JAS)," The Association for Asian Studies, https://www.asian-studies.org/publications/JAS.htm. UC Irvine Department of History, "Jeffrey Wasserstrom."〕 Wasserstrom's first monograph was entitled ''Student Protests in the 20th Century: The View from Shanghai''. In the book, Wasserstrom pays particular attention to symbols used by student protesters in Shanghai. Wasserstrom argues that students became particularly good at mimicking the practices of government officials which made their causes seem legitimate.〔Paul Bailey, "Student Protests in 20th Century China," ''Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London'' 56, no. 3 (1993):621-622.〕 Professor of History, David Strand praised the monograph as a "major contribution," because it "offers a model for rethinking the late imperial, republican and communist periods as a historical unit conditioned by indigenous and global forces, and explained by sinological and comparative models."〔David Strand, "Student Protests in Twentieth-Century China: The View from Shanghai by Jeffrey Wasserstrom," ''The Journal of Asian Studies'' 51, no. 3 (August 1992): 660-662.〕 In 2009, Routledge released a book by Wasserstrom entitled ''Global Shanghai'' which includes seven chapters that analyze the globalization of Shanghai during seven 25 year periods. ''Global Shanghai'' analyzes the popular image that Shanghai has been the hub of Sino-foreign cultural interaction since 1850. 〔Jeffrey Wasserstrom, ''Global Shanghai, 1850-2010,'' (New York: Routledge, 2009), 11.〕 Wasserstrom argues that historians should be suspicious of those who propagate this image but that historians should not underestimate the city's potential for cultural innovation.〔 Wasserstrom, ''Global Shanghai'', 13-14.〕 Alongside these books, Wasserstrom has written articles for and edited several anthologies.〔"Jeffrey Wasserstrom," Amazon.〕
Wasserstrom has lamented that Westerners know very little about China.〔Jeffrey Wasserstrom, ''China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know,'' (New York: Oxford University Press, 2010), xvi.〕 For this reason, Wasserstrom has written extensively for a popular audience. Wasserstrom has written for Time magazine, Newsweek, The Nation, the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times.〔UC Irvine Department of History, "Jeffrey Wasserstrom."〕 Wasserstrom is the co-founder of a blog entitled the China Beat,〔UC Irvine Department of History, "Jeffrey Wasserstrom." "Who We Are," The China Beat, accessed April 21, 2014,http://www.thechinabeat.org/?page_id=7〕 and he blogs regularly for the Huffington Post.〔UC Department of History, "Jeffrey Wasserstrom." "Jeffrey Wasserstrom," The Huffington Post, accessed April 21, 2014, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-wasserstrom/.〕 Wasserstrom wrote a successful book entitled ''China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know.'' The first edition, which came out in 2010, was quickly followed by a second edition in 2013.〔Wasserstrom, ''China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know'', xvi.〕 The book contains an overview of recent Chinese history and includes corrections of common American misunderstandings about China including misunderstandings about the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989〔Wasserstrom, ''China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know,'' 80.〕 and China's One-child policy.〔Wasserstrom, ''China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know,'' 104-106.〕 Wasserstrom argues that the most common American misunderstanding of China is that China is culturally homogeneous. Wasserstrom notes that like the United States, China has enormous ethnic, cultural, and religious diversity.〔Wasserstrom, ''China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know'', 114-125.〕 The book also contains an overview of the issues that China faces today.〔Wasserstrom, ''China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know'',113-148.〕 Professor of Political Science, Barrett L. McCormick had some misgivings about Wasserstrom's assessment of Mao Zedong which was that Mao was more like Andrew Jackson in that he was a man of the people who committed some atrocities than he was like Adolf Hitler; however, McCormick wrote, "if someone asks you to recommend a first book on China that he or she can read on the plane, this is the best book available."〔Barret L. McCormick, "China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know," ''The Journal of Asian Studies'' 70, no. 1 (February 2011): 216-218.〕
