  • 2016-2017 CCKF Annual Report
    2016-2017 INTRODUCTION The Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange (the Foundation) was established in 1989 in memory of the outstanding achievements of the late President of the Republic of China, Chiang Ching- kuo (1910-1988). The Foundation’s mission is to promote the study of Chinese culture and society, as well as enhance international scholarly exchange. Its principal work is to award grants and fellowships to institutions and individuals conducting Sinological and Taiwan-related research, thereby adding new life to Chinese cultural traditions while also assuming responsibility for the further development of human civilization. Operational funds supporting the Foundation’s activities derive from interest generated from an endowment donated by both the public and private sectors. As of June 1, 2017, the size of this endowment totaled NT$3.62 billion. The Foundation is governed by its Board of Directors (consisting of between 15 and 21 Board Members), as well as 3 Supervisors. Our central headquarters is located in Taipei, Taiwan, with a regional office near Washington D.C. in McLean, Virginia. In addition, the Foundation currently maintains four overseas centers: the Chiang Ching-kuo International Sinological Center at Charles University in Prague (CCK-ISC); the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Inter-University Center for Sinology at Harvard University (CCK-IUC); the Chinese University of Hong Kong – Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Asia-Pacific Centre for Chinese Studies (CCK-APC); and the European Research Center on Contemporary Taiwan – A CCK Foundation Overseas Center at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (CCKF-ERCCT). There are also review committees for the five regions covering the geographic scope of the Foundation’s operations: Domestic, American, European, Asia-Pacific and Developing.

SUPPORT CONNECT AMPLIFY RENEW We support humanistic knowledge by making resources available to scholars and by strengthening the infrastructure for scholarship at the level of the individual scholar, the department, the institution, the learned society, and the national and international network. We work in collaboration with member societies, institutions of higher education, scholars, students, foundations, and the public. We seek out and support new and emerging organizations that share our mission. We commit to expanding the forms, content, and flow of scholarly knowledge because we value diversity of identity and experience, the free play of intellectual curiosity, and the spirit of exploration—and above all, because we view humanistic understanding as crucially necessary to prototyping better futures for humanity. It is a public good that should serve the interests of a diverse public. We see humanistic knowledge in paradoxical circumstances: at once central to human flourishing while also fighting for greater recognition in the public eye and, increasingly, in institutions of higher education.

  • Imagining the Future of China Studies”
    1 — Not for citation without permission — “Made in the US/Made in China: Imagining the Future of China Studies” Fairbank Center 50th Anniversary Conference Harvard University December 9, 2005 Pauline Yu President, American Council of Learned Societies Let me begin by quoting a radio news story that caught my attention, a report from Beijing correspondent Anthony Kuhn that aired two months ago on National Public Radio’s Morning Edition.1 The story focused on the consequences of China’s rapid economic growth, which— while mostly positive—have also increased social inequality, official corruption, and produced a loss of any sense of collective purpose, since Communism can no longer be held up as the nation-state’s guiding star. The Chinese leadership, correspondent Kuhn noted, had “cracked down” hard on more than 74,000 protests against current policies, but was about to issue a new blueprint for development that puts “more of an emphasis on the equality and sustainability of economic growth.” What I found particularly noteworthy was his description at the end of the report of the party-state’s future leaders: But I think the main thing is that during this [upcoming] plenum [of the Communist Party Central Committee] we can expect to see the rise of a younger, different group of leaders. During [previous president] Jiang Zemin’s era, most of the leaders were Soviet-trained engineers. Now a lot of them are going to have more of a background in the humanities [my emphasis] and that’s going to help [President Hu Jintao’s] development strategy to place the emphasis on more humane development.

  • Not for Citation Without Permission — Report to the Council 2015 Annual
    — Not for citation without permission — Report to the Council 2015 Annual Meeting American Council of Learned Societies Friday, May 8, 2015 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Pauline Yu President, American Council of Learned Societies On August 2, 1826, Senator Daniel Webster delivered in Boston’s Faneuil Hall a “Discourse in Commemoration of the Lives and Services of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.” In a startling coincidence the two former presidents had died earlier that year on the same day, the Fourth of July, a date which marked the fiftieth anniversary of one of their great collaborative achievements, the signing of the Declaration of Independence here in Philadelphia. As was expected in the early nineteenth century, Webster delivered a substantial speech, recounting in some considerable detail the lives, beliefs, and actions of the two founders. There is much to parse in this ornate oration, but two passages speak to our purposes in gathering together today. Webster opens his address by noting the dignity and solemnity of the assembly, appropriately including not just “the chief-magistrate of the commonwealth,” but also representatives of “the university, and the learned societies.” Before concluding with an invocation of “the common parent of us all . the Divine Benignity,” he specifies the qualities of a “new era . in human affairs” commenced by American independence. “This era is distinguished,” Webster proclaimed, “by free representative governments, by religious liberty, by a newly awakened and an unconquerable spirit of free inquiry, and by a diffusion of knowledge through the community, such has been altogether unknown and unheard of. America . is inseparably connected, fast bound up .
