Joseph Lee Fund for Visiting Scholars in Chinese Studies

Support is available for MSU faculty to host short-term visiting scholars at MSU. During their time at MSU, the visiting scholars shall be required to give a public lecture/colloquium. The Asian Studies Center will support the sponsoring MSU faculty and department in organizing and promoting the event.

The Center welcomes proposals from MSU faculty members to support new and existing institutional partnerships or collaborations with individual scholars from disciplines including the arts, humanities, social sciences, and applied sciences, appropriately contextualized. In addition to the public lecture, proposed main activities during the scholar’s visit MSU may support collaboration in research, teaching, and academic events (such as, symposia or conferences held at MSU). The Center encourages proposals that show contribution of the visit on developing co-publications, although this is not a requirement.

These applications will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis.

Global Virtual Speaker Program

The Asian Studies Center Global Virtual Speaker Program aims to stimulate and increase academic and scholarly interest about Asia at MSU. Faculty members at MSU are invited to apply for funding to invite speakers to share their views on any Asia-focused topic that is likely to be of interest to any section of the MSU community. Possible formats for such an event include, but are not restricted to:

1. a one-time speaker session with one guest,
2. a one-time panel session with multiple speakers, or
3. a series of sessions involving different speakers.

The virtual session(s) may be a part of course instruction (i.e., held during normal instruction times) or as an additional session outside of instruction time. With this in mind, MSU faculty are encouraged to invite authors of books and scholars whose work serves as reading material for a course.

Award & Application Information
Funding is to be used to cover speaker honoraria. The suggested honorarium is $250 per person, and awards will be capped at $1,500 (for multiple invited speakers). Proposals will be accepted on a rolling basis.
