Haun Saussy began his study of Chinese at the Institut National des Langues Orientales (INALCO) in Paris, where he had the benefit of learning from Jacques Pimpaneau and François Cheng among others. He continues to keep up contacts with French scholars of Asia, speaking at the Collège de France, the Chicago Center in Paris, and other venues. Animated by the conviction that international partnerships are vital to the public mission of the university, he serves as adjunct director of the Chicago-CNRS International Research Laboratory “HumanitiesPlus.” He also works with colleagues in the Pritzker School of Medicine and the Pozen Center for Human Rights to enlarge cooperation with faculty of the University of Global Health Equity in Butaro, Rwanda.
