6. Progress in Fulfilling YCAR’s Mandate
This section is organized according to the four dimensions of YCAR’s mandate.
Intellectual Exchange
During 2013.2014, YCAR organized or supported 51 activities (see Appendix 1) whose purpose was research‐based intellectual exchange.
A set of lecture series formed the centerpiece of our intellectual exchange activities. They provide opportunities for sustained discussion around specific research areas and gave coherence and public profile to areas of Asian research strength at York. The three lecture series featured 14 events and were focused on ‘Philippines Studies’ (organized by graduate associates Kenneth Cardenas and Conely de Leon), ‘Transnational Diaspora Studies’ (organized by the South Asia Research Group) and ‘East Asian Knowledge Production’ (organized by Joan Judge).
Intellectual exchange activities also took the form of workshops supported by YCAR. These are designed to bring together scholars working on focused sets of issues with a view to publishing their collective deliberations.
One workshop (organized by Philip Kelly, funding from IDRC) focused on transnational ties forged by migrants between the Philippines and Canada. It featured researchers from the Commission on Filipinos Overseas, Miriam College and TIGRA Philippines, as well as York, UBC, Queen’s and OCAD University. Papers from the workshop will be featured in a journal special issue.
5
Annual Report 2013.2014
Our graduate associates who form the South Asia Research Group (SARG) convened a second well‐attended workshop on Critical Approaches to South Asian Studies, with a keynote address by Saadia Toor of CUNY. Core members of SARG are: Nadia Hasan, PhD candidate, Political Science; Amrita Kauldher, MA candidate, Anthropology; Sailaja Krishnamurti, Assistant Professor, Humanities; Nausheen Quayyum, PhD candidate, Political Science; Omme Salma Rahemtullah, PhD candidate, Sociology; Nayani Thiyagarajah, MA candidate, Interdisciplinary Studies; Nishant Upadhyay, PhD candidate, Social and Political Thought; Tina Virmani, PhD candidate, Political Science.
Another workshop (organized by Jessica Li, with funding from SSHRC) focused on Cultural Translation and Chinese‐ Canadian Studies. The event featured 12 papers by researchers from York, University of Toronto, UBC, Wilfrid Laurier, and the Open University of Hong Kong, as well as a keynote address by the Honorable Vivienne Poy. The papers will be published as an edited volume.
In addition to these lecture series and workshops, we also hosted visiting speakers from across Canada and from Hong Kong, India, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, United Kingdom and the United States. Vinay Gidwani from the University of Minnesota delivered our keynote Asia Lecture.
The following longer term visitors were hosted by YCAR in 2013.14: Yueran Feng, independent scholar Vanessa Lamb, ASEAN‐Canada Junior Fellow Xing Lyu, Yunnan University and Director, Greater Mekong Sub‐region (GMS) Study Center Mohana Kumar Saradamma, Institute of Development Studies, Jaipur, India Tracey Skelton, Associate Professor, Human Geography, National University of Singapore Andrew Song, YCAR/ABMP Postdoctoral Visitor in Asian Governance, York University Chuanyi Wang, Postdoctoral Associate, Institute of Education, Tsinghua University
The Asia Business and Management Programme (ABMP), directed by YCAR associates Prof. Bernie Frolic and Dr Elena Caprioni trained numerous groups of delegates visiting from China and Vietnam in the fields of public and corporate governance. ABMP continues to be hosted by YCAR, but now reports to the Dean’s Office in LA&PS. ABMP remains an important source of financial support for YCAR.

Annual Report 2013.2014
Research Support
Research support represents a less visible, but essential, component of the Centre’s activities. Over the course of the year, YCAR’s director and coordinator have provided advice and support to a range of proposals submitted for internal and external funding. This support has usually been in the form of coordination of the application, constructing a budget, seeking internal/external support for applications, framing research ideas to match funders’ criteria, ensuring that the submission meets internal York specifications, coordinating communications for larger collaborations, and offering editorial and content advice on draft proposals. Where appropriate, YCAR has also committed internal funds or in‐kind support to such applications. The following external grant proposals were submitted with YCAR support in 2013.2014:
SSHRC Insight Grant Peter Vandergeest (LA&PS, Geography): New Directions in Environmental Governance: Remaking Public and Private Authority in Southeast Asian Resource Frontiers (PENDING)

The Centre has also supported smaller applications for internal funding at York (not listed here due to lack of space).
In addition, YCAR is administering 22 other existing/ongoing projects and programmes (See Appendix 1).
Graduate Training
The Graduate Diploma in Asian Studies now has 43 enrollees drawn from Environmental Studies, Fine Arts, Health and LA&PS. The diploma offers a rigorous training in Asian Studies, with fieldwork, language and coursework requirements.
Our graduate student awards have supported language training and fieldwork for theses and dissertations, disbursing $20,500 in 2013.2014. This year has also seen YCAR receive a
8
Annual Report 2013.2014
generous donation from the Sivalingam family, matched by the Graduate Studies Awards Program, to create a $100,000 endowment for the N. Sivalingam Award for Tamil Studies.
YCAR has also granted $2,200 in professional development funds to assist graduate students presenting their research at academic conferences. Across all of these funds, a total of 24 awards were made to graduate students. In addition, YCAR provided research space for 19 graduate students in 2013.2014 (with space allocated on a termly basis).
YCAR is also a hub where graduate students from diverse disciplines find an intellectual community based on their regional research interests. Numerous activities at the Centre are student‐initiated, including a new series of lunchtime exchanges and presentations by graduate students. Three such meetings were held in 2013.14. YCAR was also the lead organizer in a graduate student orientation session on migration research at York in September 2013.
Knowledge Mobilization
In 2013.2014, the Director met with numerous organizations to make connections with York researchers. These organizations included but are not limited to:
Academic Organizations . Asia Institute, University of Toronto . Beihang University, Beijing . Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) Institute of Sociology . Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), Waterloo . International Migration Research Centre, WLU, Waterloo . Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi .

In 2013 YCAR started to publish a series of short research summaries called Asia Research Briefs. The purpose of the series is to make York research on Asia accessible to a wider audience, with a particular focus on journalists, policy analysts and community leaders. Six briefs have so far been released.
Media engagement is another component of YCAR’s KM strategy. This involves directing media inquiries to appropriate York‐based researchers, based on either direct contact from reporters/producers, or through York Media Relations. Faculty associates are also regularly consulted directly by media outlets. Director Philip Kelly was interviewed or quoted by the following outlets: CBC Radio 1, Toronto; CBC Radio Yukon; Peace River News Radio 1010; The Grid; Toronto Star; The National Post; The Globe and Mail; The Philippine Reporter.
YCAR also continues to publish its Asia Colloquia Papers (edited by Professor Susan Henders), which provide a permanently circulating record of selected lectures given at YCAR.
YCAR’s web site has been redesigned to become a more user‐friendly portal to access York research and expertise on Asia. YCAR has also been circulating news of events and opportunities on social media over the last year, with active Twitter and Facebook accounts.
10
Annual Report 2013.2014
In addition to a traditional model of knowledge mobilization that disseminates university research to a wider community, YCAR has also sought to become a hub through which expertise from Asian communities in Canada is shared with university researchers. Over the last year, we have hosted visitors from several organizations including the Canadian Council of Muslim Women, Han Voice, Human Rights Watch, Migrante, and the Ontario Council of Agencies Serving Immigrants (OCASI).
7. Financial Accountability
Financial documents are attached.
8. Plans and Objectives for 2014.2015
New initiatives are planned for the coming year in all activity areas defined in the Centre’s mandate.
Intellectual Exchange
The Centre will support 3‐4 lecture series that reflect areas of research strength at York, and which will enable the formation of collaborative research groups. The following is a tentative list of planned series, with each featuring 3‐5 events:
Heterogeneity and Korean Identity in the Twentieth‐First Century (organized by Janice Kim, History; supported by the Korea Foundation) Pedagogy, Race and Area Studies (organized by the South Asia Research Group) Political Ecologies of Southeast Asia (organized by Peter Vandergeest, Geography) Asia and Central Asia (organized by Sergei Plekhanov, Political Science) (Tentative)
YCAR will host and support several workshops in the coming year, each bringing together scholars to develop published output:
Making the Greater Mekong Sub‐region: Chinese, Canadian and Southeast Asian Perspectives, organized by Peter Vandergeest (Geography) and Xing Lyu (Visiting Scholar) Third Critical South Asian Studies Workshop, organized by the South Asia Research Group
11
Annual Report 2013.2014
Pakistan Beyond Tremors and Terror: Critical Engagements with Political, Economic and Cultural Change, organized by Ayyaz Mallick and other graduate students (Faculty Advisor: Raju Das, Geography) Young/Women, Migration and Work in Asia, organized by Kabita Chakraborty (Children’s Studies). Joint workshop with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) (Tentative; currently subject to discussions through Qiang Zha, Education, and Lorna Wright, Schulich) – this event represents a reciprocation of the joint York‐CASS Beijing workshop in 2011. In addition to these initiatives, YCAR’s annual Asia Lecture will be delivered in the Fall of 2014. The speaker is not yet confirmed. We also expect, as usual, to support numerous ad hoc events to advance the Asia research community at York. Support for such events and other activities will come from our Associate Initiatives Fund, Community Research Engagement Fund, and support for other units. We will be accepting applications throughout the year for support of such events.
A major event next year will be YCAR’s third biennial Graduate Student Conference to be held at Glendon College. The conference is being organized by a committee of YCAR’s Graduate Associates (with Professor Ann Kim [Sociology, LA&PS] as Faculty Advisor). We expect the conference to attract young scholars from across North America, Asia and Europe.
YCAR will again offer its post‐doctoral writing fellowship in 2014‐2015, with the support of the Asia Business and Management Programme. This will provide a four‐month fellowship in the field of Asian Governance.
VISITORS TO BE HOSTED BY YCAR in 2014.2015 (listed alphabetically): Keith Barney, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australia National University Emma Dalton, Japanese Studies at Kanda University of International Studies, Japan Yueran Feng, independent scholar Vanessa Lamb, ASEAN‐Canada Junior Fellow Andrew Song, YCAR/ABMP Postdoctoral Visitor in Asian Governance, York University Manxue Que, School of Finance, University of International Business and Economics, Beijing Chuanyi Wang, Postdoctoral Associate, Institute of Education, Tsinghua University, Beijing Muchu Zhang, Institute of Education History & Culture, Faculty of Education, Beijing Normal University

Annual Report 2013.2014
Research Support
YCAR’s largest support for faculty members remains its Faculty Initiatives Fund, through which faculty research projects are supported, usually by providing a small cash contribution to external grants or ‘seeding’ new initiatives. The Centre also provides in‐ kind research support through provision of physical space and administrative support to projects.
As in the past, we will be encouraging YCAR associates to apply for SSHRC, IDRC and other funding competitions and will support them in this process. At present, Philip Kelly (Geography, LA&PS) is liaising with colleague in Canada and the Philippines to re‐submit a Partnership Development Grant application in October 2014. Qiang Zha (Education) is holding meetings in Beijing in May 2014 to develop a Partnership Development Grant on Canada‐China educational and human resource linkages. Sergei Plekhanov (Political Science, LA&PS) is exploring possible partnership funding to support the continuation of his successful Security in Central Asia Project.
The Centre will also support research through its Research Collaboration Fellowship that allows short‐term visits to York by collaborators from Asia who are working closely on projects and publications with York faculty.
YCAR has initiated a new Research Publication Fund in order to assist with expenses that are not easily covered from other sources. Appendix 1 provides full details on this and other funds.
Graduate Training
YCAR will support the research of its graduate associates through language awards, professional development awards, and fieldwork awards. The Albert C.W. Chan Foundation Fellowship and Vivienne Poy Asian Research Awards will be available, as well as the David Wurfel Award for Philippine Studies, which has been funded for the next three years by the Wurfel Family. The N. Sivalingam Award for Tamil Studies will be offered for the first time in 2014.2015.
The Centre’s next goal in relation to fundraising will be to seek funding or an external endowment to support our language training and research awards for graduate students. Director Philip Kelly will continue to work with the Advancement Division for this purpose.
Discussions are underway to revise some elements of the graduate diploma program, including rethinking the content and the scheduling of the core course. This initiative will be moved forward by the Associate Director and GDAS Coordinator, Janice Kim. The coming
13
Annual Report 2013.2014
year will also require renegotiation of support from LA&PS for the teaching of a core course for the Graduate Diploma (the course is currently cross‐listed in Anthropology, Communication and Culture, Geography, History, Humanities and Sociology.
Knowledge Mobilization
YCAR will continue to promote York research on Asia through its web site and social media venues. We will also continue with our YCAR Asia Research Briefs series and Asia Colloquia Papers series. A new editor for the Asia Colloquia Papers will be sought as Susan Henders takes a sabbatical.
9. Other relevant items
Consulting members and developing responses to the Academic Program Review process will be a major activity in the early part of the coming year, followed by an extensive process of strategic planning as we apply for rechartering by the York University Senate in Fall 2014.
The coming year will also feature the first meetings of YCAR’s newly constituted External Advisory Council.

FUNDS, AWARDS AND OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR YCAR ASSOCIATES
YCAR Associate Initiatives The Centre’s Associate Initiatives fund provides support to YCAR’s Graduate and External Research Associates for research dissemination activities and other events. Applications should specify: the type of activity proposed; the topic to be addressed; the relevance for ongoing research at York; a budget for the event; and the number of attendees expected. Amounts awarded usually range $200 and $500. Proposals for support from this fund are accepted throughout the year.
YCAR Faculty Initiatives Fund The Faculty Initiatives fund provide support to Faculty Associate research projects, usually through a small cash contribution to external grants or ‘seeding’ new initiatives, normally to Associates who would base their project/research activity at YCAR. There is no formal call for this fund. Applications are considered throughout the year the Executive Committee.
YCAR Lecture Series Lecture series allow for an ongoing conversation throughout the year and give some definition to the research interests of the Centre and its associates. YCAR invites proposals from faculty and graduate associates who wish to organize a lecture series consisting of 3‐5 events around a theme that is focused enough to sustain an ongoing inter‐disciplinary discussion, but open enough allow for wider engagement.
Minor Support to other Departments YCAR periodically provides contributions to events organized by departments or by other ORUs.
Talks In addition to the lecture series noted elsewhere, YCAR organizes or supports speaker events on an ad hoc basis.
YCAR Research Dissemination Fund The YCAR Research Dissemination Fund provides support for activities that promote or disseminate research by YCAR faculty and graduate associates. These activities may include (but are not limited to): short video documentaries summarizing research projects/findings; video recordings of research presentations; book or other publication launches; community‐based knowledge mobilization events; or, web archiving of research materials. Funding support will usually be in the range of $200 to $1,000. The proposed research dissemination project should report on a substantive piece of research that focuses on Asia or Asian Diaspora; a rationale should be provided for the importance of the
16
Annual Report 2013.2014
proposed dissemination channel; preference will be given to research that has been administered through YCAR. Deadlines for applications are as follows: 15 March; 15 May; 15 July; 15 September; 15 November. Applicants submit a statement describing the research project and addressing the criteria laid out above.
YCAR Community Research Engagement Fund YCAR researchers working on Asia or Asian migrations can often benefit from the insights of local community leaders, activists and public intellectuals in Toronto’s Asian communities. The YCAR Community Research Engagement Fund provides support for events that reverse the traditional dissemination of knowledge from academia to community; instead allowing community members outside the university to share their knowledge and experience with students and researchers at York. Applications should be submitted by a sponsoring YCAR Faculty Associate and should specify: the type of event proposed; the topic to be addressed; the relevance for ongoing research at York; a budget for the event; and the number of attendees expected. Amounts awarded usually range $200 and $400. Applications can be submitted at any time to [email protected].
YCAR Workshop Fund Research, collaboration and publication by YCAR researchers is sometimes best served through small, focused workshops that bring together specialized scholars working on connected research questions. Such workshops may also serve as a way of exchanging ideas with non‐academic researchers, analysts, activists or policy‐makers. YCAR invites applications from York Faculty or Graduate Associates who wish to organize a research workshop. Such workshops will usually involve 6 to 12 researchers presenting an original piece of work written specifically for the workshop. The expectation is that workshops will generate a published output, usually in the form of an edited book or a journal special issue. Support from the fund is intended to: a) contribute to an application to the SSHRC Connections Grant program for a larger workshop, or b) supplement funds from an existing external research grant, or c) support a smaller workshop that does not warrant an external application. YCAR will award $500 to $3000 to support such workshops. Eligible expenses can include: travel, accommodation, catering, printing, and audiovisual services. Funds will be available for up to one year after the awarding of YCAR or SSHRC funds (whichever is later). YCAR will also provide in‐kind support through assistance with: proposal development (for example to the SSHRC Connections Grant program), financial administration, accommodation and campus room bookings, and graduate assistance. Applications should consist of a short summary of the proposed workshop’s intellectual goals, planned outputs and proposed participants. Applications will be adjudicated by a sub‐committee of the YCAR Executive Committee. Members of the YCAR Executive Committee may apply to the fund, but in such cases they may not sit on the adjudication sub‐committee.
17
Annual Report 2013.2014
YCAR Publication Support Fund This fund will be launched in May 2014. The YCAR Publication Support Fund is intended to assist in covering expenses that will enable or enhance the publication of research on Asia or Asian diasporas by YCAR Faculty Associates or Graduate Associates, usually in the form of a book. Eligible expenses include indexing, artwork, copyright clearance, cartography, image reproduction, translation or copy‐editing. The Fund might also contribute towards the cost of a publishing subvention required by a university press. The fund is not intended to cover costs that would ordinarily be borne by the publisher. Nor does it support the collection, compilation, analysis or writing of material, which is considered basic research assistance and thus should be funded from another source. The Fund does not support page charges for journals or open access publication charges. Applicants are expected to explore fully other sources of support, both inside and outside the University, and to explain why the funds are unavailable elsewhere. The fund gives preference to individual books that have been accepted for publication. Applications will be accepted throughout the year and must include: (1) A summary of the publication project (for example, in the form of the proposal submitted to the publisher); (2) A statement explaining the budget needs of the publishing project, including mention of alternate sources of funding that have been approached; (3) Evidence of the project’s scholarly merit (for example in the form of external reviewers’ comments).
