The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies recently approved Justice and Asia grants to faculty and students to carry out projects from a wide range of perspectives that support the institute’s organizing theme of justice in relationship to Asia.
The concept of justice resonates strongly with Catholic social teaching and the values of Asian philosophical and religious traditions. Justice is universally understood and innately experienced. It is also foundational to integral human development, the guiding principle of the Keough School of Global Affairs.
The Liu Institute is delighted to announce the following award recipients for the 2024-25 academic year:
