Dispatches: October 2019

Announcing the Wilson China Fellowship

The Asia Program is pleased to announce the establishment of the Wilson China Fellowship, an initiative designed to build bridges between academia and policy while supporting a new generation of American scholarship on China.

The Wilson China Fellowship will support American citizens who have received a Ph.D. in the last ten years who seek to conduct new and original pieces of research that improve understanding of the role China is playing in the Indo-Pacific, its relations with its neighbors and the United States, and its impact on peace and security issues.

Find out more about the program by visiting our website: http://www.wilsoncenter.org/chinafellowship.
