The chance to meet and exchange views with Chinese graduate students from Fudan and other Shanghai universities is also encouraged.
Room and board will be provided by the IAHS. Students are expected through their universities to cover their own air-tickets and ground transportation during their stays in China. Any necessary visa documentation will be provided by the Institute, but visa processing fees will not be covered.
The primary language of interaction will be Mandarin Chinese, and reading ability in Classical Chinese is also strongly recommended. It is imperative that graduate students have the necessary language training to engage in serious academic discourse in Chinese. Those with the equivalent of advanced Modern Chinese are invited to apply.
This program will accept 10-15 graduate students specializing in East Asian studies from universities in North America and Europe. Those who have passed their required PH.D qualifying examinations and have started writing their dissertations are encouraged to apply.
