Due Next Week: CFA: Summer Institute 2025
Penn State University and the Global Asias Initiative invites applicants for its 2025 Global Asias Summer Institute, "The Institutional Forms of Global Asias." The application deadline is January 17, 2025. Please visit our website: http://bit.ly/4bSUbg3 or see flyer for details
Are you interested in using Global Asias to cultivate new interdepartmental or trans-institutional partnerships? Do you have ideas for how to build a Global Asias research cluster, mentoring program, or scholarly network? Could Global Asias allow you and your colleagues to make visible innovative research concentrations, intellectual synergies, or pedagogical collaborations?
If so, consider submitting an application for the 2025 Global Asias Summer Institute, which will be focused on The Institutional Forms of Global Asias! SI2025 will be a space for teams to articulate programmatic goals and work with like-minded colleagues on imagining ways in which Global Asias can be utilized to reshape existing academic landscapes. Part of a larger set of projects (including a planned Asia Shorts volume) designed to make legible the institutional impacts of Global Asias knowledge production and praxis, we encourage applications from teams that see program-building as a critical part of scholarly engagement and would be willing to share what is often behind-the-scenes labor so that models for this type of academic work are more accessible.
In short, there are two things that are different about this Summer Institute. First: we are looking for small teams to apply (rather than individuals). Second: the research outputs we are looking for are not articles, grant applications, or monographs, but institutional forms such as mentoring networks, research clusters, or scholarly networks. So, we are looking for visionaries and program builders who are eager to embrace the critical, intellectual, curricular, conceptual, and programmatic possibilities of Global Asias knowledge production by building new institutional forms using Global Asias frameworks, methods, and principles.
We encourage interested applicants to contact SI2025 co-directors Tina Chen (tcg3@psu.edu) and Charlotte Eubanks (cde13@psu.edu) with any questions or for preliminary feedback on possible proposals.
