The Dorothy Borg Research Program
The Dorothy Borg Research Program of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute was established to prepare scholars for the challenge of studying transnational issues involving the United States and East Asia and to explore new conceptual strategies and themes for understanding the study of U.S. – East Asia. A central goal of the Program is to encourage and support those who might work primarily in either the United States or East Asia to broaden their scope to focus on the transnational and global linkages and facilitate areas of convergence that can be drawn between the fields of East Asia and the study of the United States through postdoctoral training opportunities, graduate fellowships, collaborative grants to support enquiry that crosses geographic, temporal, or disciplinary boundaries, and the launch of four new research projects.
The Program is named in honor of Dorothy Borg (1902 – 1993), a historian of United States-East Asia relations whose influence on political scientists like Gerald L. Curtis, Andrew Nathan, Robert Jervis, historians like Carol Gluck, and many others helped to bridge the work of history and contemporary analysis
