GRANT OPPORTUNITY:  
 
NEAC Distinguished Speakers Bureau (DSB) 
 
Host a Leading Scholar in Japanese or Korean Studies at Your College or University.  NEAC Reimburses the Honorarium and Airfare—Your Institution Just Covers the Local Expenses.
 
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 Korean 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, North Korean history and culture, gender studies, environmental studies, agrarian studies, literature, politics, international relations, popular culture, labor studies, urban studies, and ethnomusicology and has just been revised to include a new “class” of speakers for April 1, 2018 - March 31, 2021 (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 a class and interact extensively with host faculty and their students while on campus.  NEAC grant monies fund the speaker 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).
