The China Residencies Program
Thanks to a generous grant from the Ford Foundation, the Organization of American Historians and the American History Research Association of China (AHRAC) are pleased to announce the fifth year of the exchange program between the two organizations. This program allows three U.S. historians to each teach a one-week seminar in residence at a Chinese university and three Chinese historians of the United States to attend the OAH Annual Meeting and spend a week in residence at a U.S. university.
The OAH International Committee and AHRAC will select three U.S. scholars from among the OAH applicants to lead the seminars in China. Each seminar will be located at a different university, with participants drawn from that university and throughout China. Most seminar participants will be graduate students or junior faculty members, but U.S. scholars also will have the opportunity to discuss their work with faculty members at the sponsoring institution. The OAH International Committee can offer practical advice about teaching and traveling in China to those selected and put them in contact with previous seminar leaders.
Expenses for airfare, lodging, and meals will be paid or reimbursed, and seminar leaders will receive an honorarium. Recipients are encouraged to travel in China before or after the seminar at their own expense.
Details on the application process are posted following the individual seminar listings below. All materials are due by midnight PST on October 1, 2018 (tentative). Applicants must be members of the OAH.
Please contact Charlotte Brooks (charlotte.brooks@baruch.cuny.edu) with any questions about the program or application process.
Information on the 2019 host universities will be available later this summer.
