POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"2017_3_LFL\"<\/a><\/td>\nLing-Fei Lin will receive a D. Kim Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship for the 2017-2018 academic year. The title of her project is, “Industrial robots and East Asian Society, 1970s-2010s.” By focusing on the development of industrial robots in Japan, Taiwan, and China since the 1970s, she will compare and contrast how the actors expect from and thus act for industrial automation, how the result may differ from their expectation, and how robots and society co-produce each other. The study will contribute to the modern history of science and technology in East Asia by exploring the changing epistemic, social, and power relations among robots, humans, and society. She will spend her postdoctoral year at Harvard University to continue her research as well as to finish her book project.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/td>\nNotice<\/strong>:
\nJung Lee, Kjell Ericson, Noemi Godefroy, and Maika Nakao<\/span> were originally elected as 2017-2018 recipients of the postdoctoral fellowship but declined it since they got tenure-track\u00a0positions\u00a0<\/span>before the fellowship started.

DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"2017_4_KK\"<\/a><\/td>\nKyuri Kim will receive a D. Kim Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for the 2017-2018 academic year. The title of her project is, \u201cThe (Un) Making of a National Disease: The Driving Forces of Tuberculosis Management Policy and Its Discourses in South Korea, from 1945 to the Present.\u201d Her dissertation will argue that tuberculosis control was more than just a matter of disease and public health, but an effort to promote and secure the national image. She will focus on the interplay of actors\u2014both domestic and international\u2014in order to demonstrate that the design and motivations behind tuberculosis control have been strongly influenced by the global context. The project intends to contribute to the understanding of international health policies and politicization of diseases in postcolonial nations.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"2017_5_XM\"<\/a><\/td>\nXavier Ma will receive a D. Kim Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for the 2017-2018 academic year. The title of his project is, \u201cGround for Knowing: Minerals, Mining, and the Land of China (1860-1937).\u201d His dissertation will explore the relationship between the scientific knowledge of minerals and its social and cultural implications. He will examine how research in mineralogy, geology, and mining technology in China served to project minerals into the domain of modern science, and to reconfigure the relationship between Chinese people and the land. By analyzing various materials, the dissertation will also demonstrate how this scientific knowledge was incorporated in literary works and shared within China and also globally.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
