The teaching fellow program leads member colleges by enhancing their Asian Studies curriculum with cutting-edge scholarship of recent Ph.D.’s. Teaching fellows bring Asia to students across the curriculum and help ensure that Asia remains an important part of undergraduate liberal arts education.
Erin Schoneveld
Associate Professor of Japanese Art and Visual Culture
Haverford College
“Following my year as the ASIANetwork Luce Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow at Haverford College, I was invited to remain on the faculty as Visiting Assistant Professor. Based upon the success of my postdoctoral position, the Provost’s Office at Haverford supported a new tenure-track search in contemporary Japanese art and culture. I applied and successfully received the tenure track offer.”
ASIANetwork Delivers
The postdoctoral fellowship delivers by giving recent Ph.D.s the opportunity to hone their teaching skills in small classes, under the guidance of mentors, within the context of America’s finest liberal arts colleges and universities. As 1- or 2-year teaching fellows, they reflect on teaching and pursue scholarly research while preparing to enter the job market. And they are successful. Of the 30 teaching fellows who have completed their fellowships since 2010, over 90% now hold tenure-track or continuing positions at universities across the United States and the world. And many of the fellows have secured positions at liberal arts colleges.

Embodied Learning About Asia Program
Creates powerful, immersive cultural exchange opportunities for U.S. students and communities
ASIANetwork Leads
The Embodied Learning About Asia Program creates opportunities for students and communities to learn about Asia through immersive involvement and direct participation. Grants support the invitation of an experienced practitioner of an Asian art or cultural practice to ASIANetwork campuses for a period of residency. Participants from the host campus community enhance their knowledge about Asia in a way that goes beyond reading texts, listening to lectures, or viewing demonstrations. The program emphasizes performative, first-person experience facilitated by the visiting resident(s) along with self-reflection, dialogue and mentoring.

“The value and promise of the Embodied Learning About Asia (ELAAP) program couldn’t be more clear. While none of us could have anticipated enduring an extensive period of remote and distanced learning during the pandemic, all of us can now appreciate the benefits of a program that seeks to capture the very best of in-person, experiential education.
As campus leaders and communities begin to reimagine programming that celebrates the kind of learning that best occurs—or perhaps is only truly possible—in a face-to-face setting, we at ASIANetwork are thrilled to support our members in conceiving short-term campus residencies that bring people together for first-hand experience, cultural dialogue, and informed reflection. We eagerly await creative, collaborative, and compelling proposals and look forward to supporting initiatives students, faculty, and communities will cherish and remember.”

Guilford College
“I am very grateful for having an opportunity to work with Stephen Udry and Kammie Takahashi who were ASIANetwork consultants for Guilford College’s Asian Studies program. Throughout the whole process, Steve and Kammie were patient, accommodating, and supportive to Asianists at Guilford. They worked very hard within a tight timeline in order to get the consultants’ report ready before our program prioritization deadline. Their report highlights the strengths of our Asian Studies program and makes a compelling case for the importance of Asian Studies in Guilford’s curriculum. We submitted this report as part of the International Studies – Asian Studies program review. I believe that their report played an important role in saving Guilford’s Asian Studies program from proposed cuts. Steve and Kammie’s consultation provided us with timely programmatic and emotional support during a very difficult time. I am thankful!“
Keisha Brown
Assistant Professor of History
Tennessee State University
“The ASIANetwork consultancy program has been an immense support system. Rather than replicate a singular model of Asian Studies, the structure of the program is to assist in building or strengthening a program that is organic to the individual institution. One of the greatest benefits is working with the consultants and the resulting report that provides a summary of the initial on-campus consultancy meeting, strengths and areas of improvement, and concrete suggestions for future initiatives. The program has provided guidance, resources, and additional external financial support through our institutional membership to ASIANetwork. For me, the greatest benefit is that the convening of the consultancy meeting allowed me to identify and collaborate with colleagues campus-wide, specifically within the College of Liberal Arts, to consolidate, amplify, and elevate Asian Studies efforts at Tennessee State University.”

Faculty Development
Builds capacity for transformative education about Asia
ASIANetwork Leads
ASIANetwork supports the ongoing education of faculty to improve teaching and research about Asia, as exemplified by the Mellon-funded Faculty Enhancement Program. This project provided 10 faculty members each year the opportunity to study and travel to a country in Asia outside their primary expertise. Each program was led by a 2-person team of ASIANetwork faculty members with extensive experience in the country and included 3-week, on-site programming in India, South Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and China. Faculty teams met in the year prior and shared their work with a broader audience at ASIANetwork annual conferences and other venues.
ASIANetwork Delivers
Participants in the ASIANetwork Faculty Enhancement Program transformed their teaching with richer and more engaging content, generated fruitful collaborations across U.S. institutions and with international partners, and produced numerous conference presentations and publications that have improved academic engagement with Asia across disciplines. Students have benefited from access to higher-quality education on-campus and new study-abroad opportunities.

“I was involved in two ANFEP programs, as a participant in the Japan program and as a co-leader for the Indonesia program. Through the Japan program, I have been able to improve several of my courses, especially those connected to the interrelationship between Japan and Southeast Asia. As a co-director of the Indonesia program, I shared my knowledge of my home country with ten enthusiastic ASIANetwork faculty members.
One of the most important aspects of this program is the creation of continuing collaborations and networks between the American participants and across American and Indonesian institutions that enhance teaching, research, and other academic activities.”

ASIANetwork Science Initiative
Supporting collaborative projects and basic research to improve health and the environment in Asian communities and the world
ASIANetwork Leads
Our liberal arts colleges and universities value interdisciplinary engagement across fields of study, and seek insights that from the application of tools of discovery about the natural world with cultural lenses, to the benefit of local communities and broader society.
In an era in which the specters of pandemic disease, global climate change, and unsustainable agricultural development loom large in the the United States and across the world, our young scholars and future academic and political leaders need to develop the skills to address current and future crises, many of which have important connections to Asia.
ASIANetwork Delivers
ASIANetwork proposes to administer a program of educational exchange that pairs U.S. and Asian students, and their faculty mentors, in meaningful high-impact research and service projects related to the intertwined challenges of human and environmental health and agricultural development. Under the guidance of expert faculty, and in partnership with local communities in Asia, students will hone their professional skills and develop cultural competencies for greater career success in a changing world.
Project Snapshot:
Bat Conservation Biology in the Philippines
“Seeing animals up close is pretty fabulous,” said Jodi Sedlock, Associate Professor of Biology at Lawrence University, and with the support of the ASIANetwork-Freeman Student-Faculty Fellows Program, undergraduate students have had a chance to carry out impactful research among threatened bat populations and address real-world problems under expert mentorship. In collaboration with Filipino scientists and conservation professionals, including scientists at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Lawrence University undergraduates have documented bat diversity in forests, caves, and agricultural areas across the archipelago of the Philippines to better understand how bats respond to human-caused landscape changes. ASIANetwork’s support of science brings students’ fresh eyes to Asia and opens them to new possibilities for their own research interests and future careers to make a difference in the health and environmental challenges of today and the future.
ASIANetwork Science Initiative
Our vision: Collaborative programming with our Asian partner colleges and universities to build international teams of undergraduate researchers and scholars.
Benefits: Address local health and environmental problems in the context of global issues, while fostering intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding.
We look forward to discussing these possibilites with sponsors.
Emerging Projects
Leveraging the liberal arts toward student, faculty, and community centered initiatives
ASIANetwork Leads
For decades, ASIANetwork colleges have been at the forefront of innovative, paradigm-shifting scholarship and pedagogy. The resulting student experiences have been transformative. Our active membership and engaged Board of Directors is always seeking new ways to respond to changed in teaching methods and evolving content, to adapt best practices in education to the needs of contemporary students and to advance knowledge. We foster our membership’s interests in emerging project areas with the potential to reach across the liberal arts and into national undergraduate education.
ASIANetwork Delivers
ASIANetwork programming is wide-reaching and highly impactful. Our innovative work regularly generates new curriculum, scholarly investigations by students and faculty, resources for the wider academic community, and professional development opportunities for undergraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and the professoriate. Our Board of Directors and Executive Director are experienced administrators of funded programs within budgetary scope and in meeting project objectives.
Internships in Asia: Professional Training for Student Success in a Global Economy
ASIANetwork has delivered transformative student-centered programming since the 1990s and the preparation of succeeding generations of young scholars and professionals with experiences in and about Asia is central to our mission. We envision semester and summer-term internships in Asia, focusing on collaborative problem-solving and practical skill sharing and development, especially among students who would otherwise not have an opportunity to participate in international work or study. This program would add value to host organizations and communities (cultural exchange, skill sharing) and increased capacities of students seeking employment or graduate training in the U.S. or overseas.
Blackness in Asian Studies: Critical Perspectives on Race and Scholarly Engagement in Asia
ASIANetwork began with the goal of enhancing the teaching about Asia by bringing diverse perspectives on Asia to undergraduate classrooms. Following in this tradition, we have launched an effort that focuses on the academic study of the lived experience of Blackness in Asia, its depiction in Asian Studies, and the work of African American and other Black scholars of Asia. We have begun by working with HBCUs interested in enhancing their Asian programming and by inviting Black scholars of Asia to share their research and experience in various venues. We envision a comprehensive effort that includes conference events, publications, curricular development, and student involvement.
Social Justice and Pedagogy
In response to recent global and domestic events that have brought issues of social justice, human rights, and equality to the forefront, ASIANetwork has begun an initiative focused on integrating this content into the teaching about Asia. Drawing on our faculty members and other scholars, we envision developing ideas/assignments for integration into courses, compiling resource databases, and collaborating toward publishing projects in ASIANetwork Exchange, Education About Asia, and other scholarly journals that include pedagogy.
Asian American and Asian Diaspora Studies: Global Asia in the Classroom and Society
In the midst of renewed conversations about race, migration, globalization, the environment, etc., that are unfolding in the United States and globally, and in a period of increasing connectedness and cultural exchange between Asia and North America, ASIANetwork seeks to provide avenues of understanding Asia and Asian Americans for our students and our broader communities. Although Asian Studies and Asian American Studies developed under different circumstances with different assumptions and theoretical frameworks, they overlap in many ways, especially in the context of undergraduate education. We envision a suite of programs to advance curriculum toward a more full and impactful engagement with global Asias, past and present, and in their cultural, political, economic and other dimensions. We will support new points of contact between liberal arts institutions and community organizations that sustain dialogue between Asian America and broader society, and foster student projects that explore American pluralism. Among these efforts, we propose to initiate a digital storytelling project that will collect oral histories of the Asian-American experience from across the United States, documenting the living journey from immigrants to American citizenry and sharing these rich narratives of heritage, resilience, and transformation.
Socially Engaged Art: Creative Pursuits Toward Social Change
ASIANetwork seeks to support projects that encourage artists, activists, scholars, and communities in North America and Asia to collaborate through artistic or creative practice with the goal of improving social conditions. Critical to this effort would be projects that examine diverse approaches and meanings applied to Asian art and social engagement including community-based art, collaborative art, participatory art, contextual art, public art, and littoral art. We envision students playing a close role in exciting Socially Engaged Art projects involving artist residencies, community-academic partnerships, and publications that seek to use social practice as a scaffolding through which to create new experiences, relationships, and knowledge.
Emerging Project Areas
Our vision: Serve our membership, our home communities and overseas partners, and the broader academic endeavor in timely, impactful, interdisciplinary approaches to innovative undergraduate education.
Prospects: We anticipate the further growth of these project areas, with additional support, into programs with even greater reach.
We look forward to discussing these possibilities with sponsors.
