“Penn State Summer Institute in Asian Studies”

The Pennsylvania State University invites applications for a week-long
fellowship to participate in the inaugural Penn State Summer Institute in
Asian Studies. To be held June 1-7, 2014, on the theme of “Reading and
Textual Production in Early Modern China,” the Summer Institute welcomes
applicants interested in reading primary and secondary sources on its
annual theme, in workshopping and discussing their own research, and in
exploring the latest scholarship in their field. This year’s Institute
will be led by On-cho Ng (Penn State), Kai-wing Chow (U of Illinois) and
Hung-lam Chu (Hong Kong Polytechnic U).

Summer Institute Fellows will receive support for lodging and meals, as
well as transportation (round-trip economy-class airfare, or mileage).
Applicants must have completed their PhDs between August 2009 and 2014, or
be advanced graduate students who are completing their dissertations.
Please submit a curriculum vitae and statement of interest (600 words) to
Jamie Perryman <jlf47 at psu.edu> by March 25, 2014. Advanced graduate
students must also include a letter from the dissertation adviser on
academic progress and status. Decisions will be made by April 15, 2014.
Other inquiries regarding the Summer Institute may be directed to On-cho
Ng <oxn1 at psu.edu>.
