NRC Faculty

East Asia Faculty Affiliates
The UO has a well-deserved reputation as a center of excellence for scholarship and teaching; and East Asian studies is the strongest area studies concentration on campus by almost every measure—faculty numbers, student enrollments, majors. The East Asian studies faculty publishes extensively.  The several books they have produced in recent years have been released by major university presses such as University of California, Stanford, Cambridge, University of Hawaii, and the University of Washington. Our faculty have also produced a number of edited volumes, and have contributed papers to many others. They regularly contribute articles to major journals, including the Journal of Asian Studies, China Quarterly, China Review, Asian Perspectives, and the Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies. Several have published Chinese, Japanese, and other translations of their monographs.

Over the past 5 years, EA faculty members have received numerous external grants, fellowships, awards, and distinctions from SSRC, ACLS, Chiang Ching-kuo, Fulbright, Japan Foundation, NEH, NSF, and the Stanford Humanities Center, among others.

CAPS Small Professional Grants for Graduate Students

The Center for Asian and Pacific Studies is offering awards of up to $500 in support of the professional activities of UO graduate students studying Asia. Awards will be made for the following purposes: travel to conferences to present papers, travel to library, museum, and archival collections, and necessary travel related to research and fieldwork; and expenses related to book and article production and publication. Your application should state that you have first tried to secure funds from your department.

When the number of applications exceeds CAPS Small Grants funding, the committee will prioritize those applicants who have not received an award in the previous two years. Because of the lack of funding for graduate research, PhD candidates also receive special consideration. Please note, this grant does not support language study.

To submit a proposal, please click here to complete the online application form.  A brief letter of support from your advisor explaining how this activity is central to your research interests is also required.  This letter can be emailed directly to Holly Lakey at lakey@uoregon.edu.

Applications will be reviewed twice per year. The deadlines for small grant applications are:

Fall: October 30th (for winter and spring projects)

Spring: April 15th (for summer and fall projects)

Awards must be used within one year of the date of the award. Applicants may apply for a CAPS Small Grant before they’ve been accepted to a conference, though their award will be continent upon acceptance confirmation.  No retroactive awards can be made.

Successful applicants are asked, after the award has been used, to write a brief letter to CAPS reporting on the completion of the relevant project.
