The Shaw Society extends its warmest congratulations  to Jeffrey Wei Liu, the Society’s first Vice President for the Asia-Pacific Region on being invited to become a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA). The RSA Fellowship recognises his work with The Shaw Society in the Arts and Education.

Mr Liu is the first Foundation Fellow and Development Ambassador in the history of St Edmund’s College, University of Cambridge. He also serves as the first Asia-Pacific Charity Ambassador of the Newmarket Charitable Foundation. Through his longstanding commitment to fostering cultural, educational, and literary exchange between the United Kingdom and China, Mr Liu has played a significant leadership role within The Shaw Society, making important contributions to strengthening dialogue and mutual understanding between Eastern and Western literary traditions. 

The Chair of The Shaw Society Maureen Clark-Darby, welcomed the news:

"Jeffrey has been a great support to The Shaw Society in advancing its cultural and educational mission. His distinguished international appointments, academic honours, and leadership have helped us realise many recent projects that promote the appreciation of George Bernard Shaw’s literary and theatrical legacy. His support as our first Vice-President for the Asia Pacific Region is helping to build stronger and more enduring bridges for international cultural exchange - I am so pleased to learn that Jeffrey has joined the RSA's global network of creators, leaders, policymakers and entrepreneurs."
