POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"2023--Yiyung-Peng\"<\/a><\/td>\nYiyun Peng<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship for the academic year of 2023-2024. Her book project is \u201cThe Herbaceous Revolution: How Crop-Based Handicraft Industries Transformed Upland Southeast China, 1500-1970.\u201d This study scrutinizes a few important handicraft industries that processed perennial herbs into commodities\u2014indigo dye, ramie cloth, tobacco, and bamboo paper\u2014in upland Southeast China. This highland-centered approach refreshes our understanding on the economy of late imperial and modern China, which has long focused on lowland production of rice, cotton, and silk, and also ushers in a rethinking of the highlands as a complex and active economic and technological system.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/a><\/td>\nChiali Chu<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Dissertation Fellowship for the academic year of 2023-2024. The title of his dissertation is, \u201cHarvesting Diversity: Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and the Politics of International Agricultural Research, 1960-2000.\u201d He focuses on the Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC), a research institute founded in Taiwan in 1971 for the adaptation of vegetables to the humid tropics. The study will show how the AVRDC has successfully evolved through both the Cold War and the post-Cold War periods with its distinctive visions of \u201ccreated and conserved diversity.\u201d It will be an important addition to our understanding of relationship among science, politics, and economic development in Asia.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

By analyzing HuaPharm, she will show how China was transformed from a technology receiver (from the Soviet Union) to technology disseminator. She will also examine the impact of antibiotics on the healthcare system, the culture of antibiotics, and perception of diseases.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/td>\nMengliu Chang<\/strong>\u00a0will receive a D. Kim Foundation Traveling\/Research grant for the academic year of 2023-2024. She is currently working on her dissertation that examines how \u201cscientific farming\u201d was conceived, articulated, and practiced by a broad spectrum of actors in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century China. Challenging the conventional historiography, her dissertation examines the diverse infrastructures of knowledge production and dissemination, as well as the agency of revolutionaries, entrepreneurs, missionaries, or even dilettantes. She will travel to Hubei and Hunan in July 2023 for her archival research.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nHosanna Fukuzawa<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Traveling\/Research grant for the academic year of 2023-2024. He will explore \u201cimu,\u201d a culture-bound syndrome of the Ainu in Japan. Through the archival research, he will examine the process in which the modern understanding of imu was created, how it came to be claimed to have vanished, and the complex interplay of power, modernization, and medicalization of cultural knowledge and expression. He will travel to Sapporo in Hokaido, Japan, for his archival research during the academic year of 2023-2024.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\"2023--Yaming-You\"<\/td>\nYaming You<\/strong> will receive a D. Kim Foundation Traveling\/Research grant for the academic year of 2023-2024. She is currently working on her dissertation that explores the material history of the syringe and artifactual biography injection therapy in modern China from the 1920s to the 1970s. She argues that as the syringe travelled between two medical systems (Traditional Chinse Medicine and western medicine) during the early and mid-twentieth century, a new hybrid body (\u201csyringe body\u201d) was born to accommodate the demands of two drastically different ways of knowing and treating the body in Chinese medicine and biomedicine. She will travel to Shanghai in October 2023 for her research.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
