Professor Theodore Hughes awarded Heyman Center Fellowship for 2018-2019

Professor Theodore Hughes awarded Heyman Center Fellowship for 2018-2019

Professor Theodore Hughes, Director of the Center for Korean Research and Korean Foundation Professor of Korean Studies at Columbia University, has been awarded a Heyman Center Fellowship for the 2018-2019 academic year.

Funded by Office of the Executive Vice-President of the Arts and Sciences, this yearlong fellowship provides course relief, allowing scholars to work on proposed research projects and to participate in the Heyman Center Fellows Seminar. Comprising other faculty and dissertating graduate student fellows and chaired by Mark Mazower, the Seminar Director of the Heyman Center Fellows, this seminar provides the opportunity to present work-in-progress and foster discussion across fields and disciplines in other ways, creating opportunities for collaborative research and teaching in future semesters.

The EALAC Department hopes you join us in congratulating Professor Hughes on his tremendous achievement.
