Submit for the Asian Studies Research Award
The Asian Studies program will present two research awards in the Spring, one for essays and the other for research projects. Essays are generally under 10 pages and can take various forms (book review, response paper, reflective essay, etc.). Research papers are generally longer than 10 pages and involve individual engagement with multiple sources to construct an original argument. Each award winner will receive a monetary award.
The awards are open to undergraduates at the University of Alabama. You do not have to be an Asian Studies minor to receive an award. To submit your work for the award, send the paper or project by 11:59 pm on Friday, January 17, 2020, to asianstudies@as.ua.edu. All submissions must include a cover page with name, CWID, email address, and a 3-4 sentence summary of the paper or project. For more information, go to the Asian Studies website.
