From 2021-2023 American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), in conjunction with the Henry Luce Foundation, worked with fellows, grantees, advisors, and institutions in rethinking its Program in China Studies in light of the many challenges currently facing scholars of China.
Building on the results of the survey report published in 2021, the new report, China Studies in an Uncertain Age provides a deeper understanding of the individual experiences of China studies scholars through in-depth interviews with 14 scholars conducted by faculty advisors, Emily Baum (University of California, Irvine) and Yingyi Ma (Syracuse University) during the 2022-23 academic year.
Formed a century ago, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) is a nonprofit federation of 80 scholarly organizations. As the leading representative of American scholarship in the humanities and interpretive social sciences, ACLS upholds the core principle that knowledge is a public good. In supporting its member organizations, ACLS utilizes its $155+ million endowment and $37 million annual operating budget to expand the forms, content, and flow of scholarly knowledge, reflecting our commitment to diversity of identity and experience. ACLS collaborates with institutions, associations, and individuals to strengthen the evolving infrastructure for scholarship. In all aspects of our work, ACLS is committed to principles and practices in support of racial and social justice.
The Henry Luce Foundation seeks to deepen knowledge and understanding in pursuit of a more democratic and just world. It does so by nurturing knowledge communities and institutions, fostering dialogue across divides, enriching public discourse, amplifying diverse voices, and investing in leadership development.
