Subject: NEAC Japan & Korea Distinguished Speakers Opportunity

Grant Opportunity:

Neac Distinguished Speakers Bureau (dsb)

host a leading scholar in Japanese or Korean studies at your college
or university.

honorarium and airfare reimbursed — your institution covers local expenses only.

The distinguished speakers bureau of the Northeast Asia Council (neac)
of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS) supports public
presentations by senior scholars in Japanese and K studies at American
colleges and universities, especially those without well-established
programs on East Asia. the roster of Neac distinguished speakers
includes prominent experts in Japanese and Korean history,
anthropology, literature, women’s studies, politics, language
pedagogy, sociology, and ethnomusicology and has just been revised to
include a new “class” of speakers for 2017-2020 (with several speakers
staying on to enable a rotational term system). each year a few
scholars will roll off the dsb and a few new names will be added.

Colleges and universities may apply to host one of the leading
scholars of Japan and Korea who are members of the Neac distinguished
speakers bureau. the invited speaker will be expected to give a
formal, public lecture (chosen from a broad list of topics) as well as
meet with classes and interact extensively with host faculty and their
students while on campus. Neac grant monies fund the honorarium and
air travel for the Neac distinguished speaker on a reimbursement
basis, up to the amount of the approved Neac grant award, and the host
institution is responsible for all local costs (food, lodging,
marketing, airport transfers, etc.).

Please note: the Neac distinguished speakers bureau is intended to
serve institutions with small East Asian studies programs, not
institutions with large and well-established centers in Japanese or
Korean studies.

The Neac distinguished speakers bureau is supported by funds
generously provided by the Japan-United States Friendship
Commission(jusfc) and the Korea Foundation(kf).
