Eugenia Lean is Awarded National Endowment for the Humanities Grant

We are pleased to announce that Eugenia Lean, the Director of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute (on leave AY 2017-18) and Associate Professor of Chinese History at Columbia University, has been awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).

The NEH grant, announced in December 2017, will support the next six months of Professor Lean’s work on the book project “A Chinese Man-of-Letters in an Age of Industrial Capitalism: Chen Diexian (1879-1940),” which examines the cultural and intellectual dimensions of industrialization by focusing on the practices and writings of polymath Chen Diexian, a professional writer/editor, science enthusiast, and pharmaceutical industrialist. Professor Lean is currently developing the project as a 2017-18 member of the Institute for Advanced Study’s School of Historical Studies.
