Peace Studies with a geographical focus on South or East Asia
The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies partners with the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and invites proposals from scholars in any discipline to pursue any aspect of peace studies with a geographical focus on South or East Asia. Proposals that will integrate with or complement ongoing research efforts by faculty and research projects conducted at one or both Institutes are particularly welcomed. Strong proposals will offer a clear and concise description of a research project, identify faculty research and initiatives at the Kroc Institute and/or the Liu Institute that will be enhanced by the project, and explain how the research will benefit the fields of Peace Studies and Asian Studies. Recipients of this fellowship will be expected to participate in the intellectual life of both Institutes.
