Scholars-in-Residence
AIGCS offers fellowship to distinguished scholars who are to make significant contributions to the Institute’s projects, culminating in book publications. Preferences will be given to applicants who use the fellowship for completing a book manuscript. We require more than 50% completed manuscript at the stage of application. The duration of the fellowship is between three months and six months. According to the fellow’s academic ranking, s/he will be given a monthly stipend in additional to a round-trip airfare (economy class for most fellows). The lodgings are to be arranged by the fellows themselves. The final manuscript is obligated to be finished within 6 months after completion of the fellowship. The fellows are encouraged to co-author with LNU staff members specializing in Chinese culture.
Prof. Stephen J. Roddy 斯定文教授
AIGCS warmly welcomes its first scholar-in-residence, Prof. Stephen J. Roddy from Department of Modern & Classical Languages, University of San Francisco. His residency is between November 18, 2022 to February 18, 2023.
Stephen Roddy is a professor of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures, received his PhD in East Asian Studies from Princeton University, and specializes in the fiction and other prose genres of 18th and 19th century China and Japan. His current interests focus on the influences of Chinese fiction on late-Tokugawa writers, and of Meiji-period thinkers on essayists of the late-Qing.
