ACLS (American Council of Learned Societies) International Activities (posted 19 July 2006)

With funding from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the ACLS Humanities Program in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine continues its ambitious initiative to support humanities scholars doing exemplary work in the former Soviet Union during a time of crisis, so as to assure continued future leadership in the humanities.

The American Council of Learned Societies is pleased to announce a new program of grants to individuals in the archaeology and early history of East Asia. This program is undertaken in cooperation with the Henry Luce Foundation. Research fellowships and training grants will be awarded for study of the peoples and cultures of early East Asia.

Organized by the ACLS with financial support from the Ford Foundation, the Social Science Translation Project (SSTP) brought together a group of translators, editors, and social scientists to discuss problems arising from the translation of a variety of texts that employ social-scientific concepts.

The ACLS, in collaboration with the Social Science Research Council supports various research and planning activities to encourage research on specific countries or regions of the world, as well as comparative and transnational research projects. The ACLS/SSRC International Program continues work formerly carried out by the ACLS/SSRC Joint Area Studies Committees.

As part of the ACLS/SSRC International Program, the ACLS sponsors a multi-disciplinary, cross-regional Collaborative Research Network on "Official and Vernacular Identifications in the Making of the Modern World." The network consists of scholars in Russia, Thailand, China, France and the French Atlantic World, and the United States, who pursue their own research agendas within a comparative analytical framework.

The ACLS continues its support of the Beijing office of the Committee on Scholarly Communication with China (CSCC), which is sponsored by the ACLS, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Social Science Research Council. Two CSCC fellowship programs are adminstered by the ACLS.

The Center for Educational Exchange with Vietnam (CEEVN) administers and supports educational and academic exchanges between Vietnam and the United States. It has been affiliated with the ACLS since 1994.

With funding from the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for Scholarly Exchange, the ACLS administers a program supporting conferences and publications on "New Perspectives on Chinese Culture and Society." This program will award funds in support of planning meetings, workshops, and/or conferences leading to publication on scholarly volumes.
