2021 Ezra Vogel Memorial Fellowship

Purpose and Description

Note: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IEAS is assessing feasibility of summer travel abroad. Applicants are strongly encouraged to include alternate plans in case summer travel to proposed countries is prohibited.

The Ezra Vogel Memorial Fellowship competition is open to all UC Berkeley continuing graduate students in any field who have an interest in Sino-Japanese relations. Successful applicants should propose a coherent plan of research/study that will result in tangible progress towards their graduate degree. The fellowship is intended to facilitate special research proposals and study plans focused on any aspect of Sino-Japanese history, migration, and cultural interaction, including political relations, art, literature, religion and technology. It is not intended for general support.
