2017-18 Taiwan Visiting Scholar Program
The UCLA Asia Pacific Center invites UCLA faculty and departments to
submit proposals to host visiting scholars from Taiwan for short-term
visits to UCLA to teach or co-teach in UCLA courses during the
2017–18 academic year. Funding is provided by the Taiwan Studies
Lectureship (TSL), which aims to expand curricular offerings in
Taiwan studies, as well as to facilitate research and graduate
training networks linking faculty and students in similar fields at
UCLA and in Taiwan. While in residence, visiting scholars are
expected to co-teach or give lectures in a course taught by the
sponsoring faculty member, or to lead an independent short-term
course on a topic related to Taiwan. Alternatively, they may
participate in a departmental working group or other forum that
facilitates discussion with UCLA colleagues and graduate students.
Each scholar will give one public lecture for the Asia Pacific
Center’s Taiwan Studies Lecture Series.
