2009 Study Trip Application Announcement
The Creel Center for Chinese Paleography, with the support of the Luce Initiative on East Asian Archaeology and Early History of the Henry Luce Foundation, invites applications from graduate students in North America to participate in a study tour and seminar to be held in the People’s Republic of China during the first half of July 2009. The tour will begin on or about July 1 in Shanghai with visits to the Shanghai Museum and to the Center for Research on Chinese Excavated Classics and Paleography of Fudan University. From Shanghai, we will travel to Wuhan, Hubei, where the students will join a group of students from throughout China for a one-week course on bamboo-strip manuscripts with professors of the Centre for the Study of Bamboo and Silk Manuscripts of Wuhan University. During this week, there will be opportunities to visit both the Hubei Provincial Museum and also the Jingzhou City Museum, and to examine the bamboo strip materials housed there. At the end of this week, the students will be joined by Li Xueqin 李学勤, Qiu Xigui 裘锡圭, Lin Yun 林沄 and Zeng Xiangtong 曾宪通 for a two-day master class. From Wuhan, we will then travel to Changsha to view the Mawangdui silk manuscripts housed in the Hunan Provincial Museum.
All expenses will be paid by the Creel Center, though students from institutions other than the University of Chicago will be asked to arrange their own transportation from their home to and from Chicago. Students wishing to stay on in China after the study tour will be free to do so at their own expense.
Students wishing to be considered for this study tour should submit the following application materials to the Creel Center:
• A letter of application stating your background, your interests in Chinese studies, and your goals with respect to Chinese paleography.
• Three letters of recommendation, one of which should attest to your ability to communicate fluently in Chinese.
