SUMMARY:ASPAC Graduate Prizes: Application Deadline
DESCRIPTION:ASPAC–Mori Prize and ASPAC–Barlow Prize for Graduate Students \nAt the 1992 ASPAC conference at California Polytechnic State University\, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo)\, the ASPAC Board voted to establish the John and Mae Esterline Prize to encourage student participation in ASPAC conferences and to recognize the support given to students by our colleagues John and Mae Esterline. The name of the award was changed to the ASPAC–Esterline Prize and then to the ASPAC–Mori Prize in June 2014\, in honor of Professor Barbara Mori of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. As a long-time ASPAC member\, Professor Mori advocated Asian studies\, including Asian musicology\, her area of expertise. She passed away in 2013\, leaving a generous donation in support of this graduate student prize. \nThrough this prize\, ASPAC recognizes extraordinary graduate student scholarship. It is open to all students pursuing graduate studies in any discipline\, at any American university\, and in any area of research pertaining to Asian studies. Awards are given at the conference banquet. Currently the total award available is $300 and is awarded to the best paper\, but if there are two papers of equal quality\, the award may be split equally between the two papers’ authors. The author does not have to be attending a university in the ASPAC area to be eligible but must attend the annual ASPAC conference and present the paper to receive the award. \nThe ASPAC–Barlow Prize has been established to remember and honor Professor Jeffrey G. Barlow\, a professor emeritus at Pacific University\, who passed away in October 2016. The newly established prize will be used to recognize the best student paper on China presented at each annual conference of ASPAC starting in 2018. The award will be in the amount of $300 and the awardee will be selected by the ASPAC Prize Committee and announced at the banquet of the annual conference. The winner will be eligible\, along with the winner of the ASPAC–Mori Prize\, to compete for nomination by ASPAC to present her/his paper at the annual conference of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) in the following year. \nAll graduate student proposals for the above two prizes must include a cover letter from the supervising professor recommending the paper to ASPAC. Graduate students wishing to apply for the 2018 ASPAC–Mori Prize and the 2018 ASPAC–Barlow Prize should email both their supervisor’s cover letter and complete conference paper to Dr. Tsuneo Akaha (Professor of International Policy and Development\, Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey) at takaha@miis.edu. Papers are only accepted as a Microsoft Word document and should be between 15–20 pages in regular academic format. PowerPoint\, slide\, and other formats are not accepted. \nApplication deadline: May 15\, 2018 \nView full conference call for proposals »

SUMMARY:East Meets West Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening: American Revolutionary: The Evolution of Grace Lee Boggs (2013)\nA film on the life of Chinese American civil rights activist Grace Lee Boggs.\nDirector Grace Lee; producers Grace Lee\, Caroline Libresco\, and Austin Wilkin.\n82 Minutes. Transcript available. \nWhat does it mean to be an American revolutionary today? Grace Lee Boggs\, a Chinese American woman in Detroit\, who died in October 2015 at 100 years old\, has a surprising vision of revolution. A writer\, activist\, and philosopher rooted for more than seventy years in the African American movement\, she devoted her life to an evolving revolution that encompassed the contradictions of America’s past and its potentially radical future. This Peabody Award–winning documentary plunges us into Boggs’s lifelong practice of igniting community dialogue and action\, work that traverses the major US social movements of the last century: from labor to civil rights\, to Black Power\, feminism\, the Asian American and environmental justice movements\, and beyond. \nAngela Davis\, Bill Moyers\, Bill Ayers\, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis\, Danny Glover\, Boggs’s husband James Boggs\, and a host of Detroit comrades across three generations help shape this uniquely American story. As she wrestles with a Detroit in ongoing transition\, contradictions of violence and non-violence\, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.\, the 1967 rebellions\, and nonlinear notions of time and history\, Boggs emerges with an approach that is radical in its simplicity and clarity: revolution is not an act of aggression or merely a protest. Revolution\, Boggs says\, is about something deeper within the human experience—the ability to transform oneself in order to transform the world. More than ten years in the making\, this inter-disciplinary film has a wide appeal to college students. \n\nPart of East Meets West — Asia Program Lecture Series\nOur fall lecture series will feature seven public lectures and one documentary exploring the theme of “Resilience” from multiple regional and disciplinary perspectives. All events are free and open to the public.
