The Asia Foundation, with generous support from the Henry Luce
Foundation,

City. Upon return to his/her home institution, he/she will be expected
to
teach the material developed during the five-month field research in
Vietnam.

The first of three grant periods in the program is scheduled for Spring
2002. Application deadline is May 30, 2001. Applicants must be faculty
members at an accredited American college or university, with doctoral
