Program Goals
The redesigned Luce/ACLS Program in China Studies has three goals:
- To shift the standard for China studies as a field to be more capacious and inclusive, both in terms of research funded (from multidisciplinary and multimethod approaches to Sinophone/graph studies and Global China) and support for a wider diversity of scholars and institutions.
- To foster and sustain publicly engaged, creative, and responsive scholarship that will inform public understanding of cultures, histories, and societies in China and their influence and impact on communities, countries, and cultures around the world.
- To initiate effective strategies for long-term change, through collaborative working groups and network- and community-building activities.
