The Dunhuang Seminar in London and Paris allowed me to access invaluable artifacts and documents crucial to my research. Archival access at the British Library, in particular, allowed me to view 1500 year old documents available nowhere else. These documents provided crucial clues for my research on the history of medieval Chinese Buddhism.
This trip was my first chance to see Dunhuang manuscripts in person. I have been working with Dunhuang materials for over ten years using images available online. Compared with the grainy black-and-white reproductions that scholars of an earlier era relied upon, we are positively spoiled by today’s high resolution color images.
A week ago, Taiwanese voters reelected President Tsai Ing-wen with 57 percent of the vote and renewed her Democratic Progressive Party’s legislative majority. PRC leaders have refused to interact with the DPP-led government for the past 3½ years, so it’s safe to assume this wasn’t the outcome Beijing was hoping for. But that doesn’t mean its Taiwan policy is failing...(read more)

The USC U.S.-China Institute hosted a video conference looking at what the key issues were in the election and what the election means for Taiwan domestic policies, for cross-strait relations, and for U.S.-Taiwan relations.
The discussion was moderated by Clayton Dube, the director of the USC U.S.-China Institute. Panelists included:

Thanks to the support of the Center for Japanese Studies graduate fellowship, I was able to begin my Ph.D. studies in modern Japanese art starting from the Fall of 2018.
I study Japanese security policy and military acquisition, which is complex and constantly changing. There is simply no substitute for interviews with the actual people who make policy; no matter how opaque policy decisions may appear from the outside, they are constructed by people with different constraints and goals, and there is no better way to understand outcomes than to talk to the people who created them.
Thanks to the support of the CSEAS travel grant I was able to travel to Indonesia for five weeks this past summer to conduct follow-up research critical to my dissertation that is focused on the work of visual artists from the region of West Sumatra, Indonesia….
My academic plan explores illness narratives among Filipino U.S. military veterans who return to live in the Philippines and seek health care there after completing military service. This past summer, thanks to the CSEAS summer travel award, I was able to travel to Manila as part of my pre-dissertation summer research. While there, I was able to visit key health care spaces that serve veteran populations.
The Center for Chinese Studies has been immensely generous with its fellowship support over my five years as a Berkeley student, most recently financing a return trip to Taipei, where I spent every day last summer in 3 hours of one-on-one sessions with experts in Chinese literature and history, reading the works that are foundational to my area of study in early imperial law.
I am so grateful for the CCS Fellowship I received this year. This source of funding enabled me to carry on my fieldwork during Fall 2019 and to collect a wide array of archival and ethnographic material to complete my Ph.D. dissertation. I used the CCS funding to study China's ongoing agrarian transformation and its spaces.
Thanks to CCS support throughout my entire graduate student career, I have been able to present papers at conferences and make critical research trips within the United States and also to China. Without CCS funding, I would not have had the chance to visit museums, libraries, and archives to access rare literature and film material for my dissertation work on early socialist Chinese animation and science education film.
Shinjo Ito Postdoc Scholar
With the generous support of the Shinnyo-en Foundation, the Center for Japanese Studies at UC Berkeley is pleased to invite applications for a full-time postdoctoral research fellowship with the possibility of teaching. The term of the appointment is August 1, 2020, to July 31, 2022.
The CKS fellowship made my fieldwork in Seoul, South Korea on individuals' moral reasoning regarding the gendered distribution of housework possible.
My involvement in the CKS community over the course of my graduate career has been integral to my success as a doctoral student. The collegiality and camaraderie gave me a place to meet, collaborate with, and learn from other Korean studies scholars. The generosity and support from CKS has enabled me to travel to Korea and beyond for fieldwork, research, and symposia, helping reach my goals as an emerging scholar.

This episode of the ChinaPower Podcast is a crossover episode with “Hong Kong on the Brink,” hosted by Jude Blanchette. Mr. Blanchette interviews Bonnie Glaser about the protests in Hong Kong and their impact on Taiwan’s own relations with mainland China. Ms. Glaser explains how the continued unrest might affect Taiwan’s upcoming January 2020 presidential election. She also expands on how views in Taiwan have evolved since the November 2018 local elections and the start of the Hong Kong protests in summer 2019. Ms.
Shelley Rigger, professor of political science at Davidson College, talks about the outcome of Taiwan's elections. President Tsai Ing-wen of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party won a landslide victory over China-friendly opposition challenger Han Kuo-yu to clinch a second term in elections Saturday. Rigger speaks with Bloomberg's Stephen Engle on "Bloomberg Daybreak: Asia."
