Asian Area Studies Curriculum Course Development Grants
The Center for Asian Studies has funding available for ÌÒÉ«ÊÓƵ faculty members who would like to develop Asia-related curricula for new or existing courses.
CAS will offer up to five faculty awards for the creation or significant revision of an undergraduate course on any region of Asia in any discipline or College. At least one of these awards will be reserved for an Asian studies course that includes material on climate change or environmental issues and/or a course on climate change/environment that includes material on Asia.
This opportunity is offered as part of our National Resource Center for Asian Studies grant from the US Department of Education and contingent on funding. Funding will be provided for faculty to develop new courses with Asian content or revise existing courses to add Asian content, in order to enhance the area studies curriculum. Asian content should include at least two class sessions that are focused on Asia. We will give priority to classes with more substantial Asian content. Classes addressing environmental issues in Asia may also be included in our new Climate and Society in Asia undergraduate certificate (in final approval stages).
