Three-Week Professional Development Trip to U.S. for Central Asia scholars
June 2024
Six selected Central Asian scholars of China or a related field will travel to the U.S. for a three-week professional development program, during which they will strengthen their skills for researching, writing, and publishing in English; gain new insights into the concept and practice of the nexus between academia and policy; and further develop plans for joint research and publication with their U.S. peers. During the program, Central Asian scholars will also complete an intensive, two-day workshop conducted by the Harvard Writing Center on writing for publication in English; meet with a broad range of leading U.S.-China scholars at U.S. universities and think tanks; and visit U.S. National Resource (Title VI) Centers to learn about East Asian Studies programs in the U.S.; explore libraries, archives, and special collections; and meet with colleagues, students, and administrators. During this time, Central Asian and U.S. scholars will also meet to further develop joint research plans.
