Center News EASC attracts 15 additional grants for diverse programs
In 2012, in addition to USDE Title VI funding, EASC secured 15 grants and awards in order to enrich its Asia-related programs at OSU and in the State of Ohio. Total additional funds raised OSU above NRC and FLAS funds exceeded $200,000 and enabled EASC to offer an array of diverse programs, including academic conferences, speakers’ series, language teacher training, K-12 teacher training, art outreach to underserved schools, public art exhibitions, and commemorative events celebrating Ohio-Asian relations. External funders ranged from private foundations, government EASC DIRECTOR PATRICIA SIEBER (RIGHT), ARTIST MIGIWA agencies, semi-governmental organizations and ORIMO (CENTER) AND ART TEACHER KRISTEN PYSHORA (LEFT) STAND WITH THE COLUMBUS PREPARATORY ACADEMY non-profi t international affairs groups, to professional STUDENTS’ JAPAN-THEMED ARTWORK. TO READ MORE ABOUT organizations. THIS PROJECT AND OUR GENEROUS FUNDERS, SEE PAGE 2. exp EASC successfully pursued a range of external funding opportunities. The Japan Foundation supported an IJS-led conference and two workshops, and the Foundation’s Center for Global Partnership enabled commemorative activities in conjunction with the Columbus Bicentennial. The Freeman Foundation continued to support the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia seminar, one of EASC’s fl agship K-12 teacher training initiatives. Two grants from the North East Asia Council, a subunit of the leading professional studies association, the Association for Asian Studies, enriched conference and speaker programs for Korean and Japanese Studies respectively. Two grants from the two leading arts funding bodies in Ohio, the Ohio Arts Council and the Greater Columbus Arts Council, supported Asia-related arts outreach to Columbus schools and a community-based art exhibition. An award from the National Committee on US-China Relations made ICS’s participation in the nationwide fi fth annual China TownHall event possible. EASC also succeeded in procuring competitive funding at OSU. The Mershon Center for International Security Studies generously supported a Korean conference and speaker events held by IKS. Two Offi ce of International Affairs research grants supported conferences in Japanese literary studies and Korean politics respectively. Two grants from the Buckeye Language Networks went toward two separate linguistics conferences held under EASC auspices. In addition, among OSU units, the Division of Arts and Humanities also generously invested in diverse EASC programs. We are deeply grateful for our funders’ trust and look forward to working with our funding bodies in 2013.

East Asian Psycholinguistics Colloquium held at OSU
PARTICIPANTS OF THE 2012 EAST ASIAN PSYCHOLINGUISTICS COLLOQUIUM HELD AT OSU AND CO-SPONSORED BY THE EAST ASIAN STUDIES CENTER, THE INSTITUTE FOR CHINESE STUDIES, AND THE INSTITUTE FOR JAPANESE STUDIES. Autumn 2012 re Over a dozen scholars from the United States, Japan and Taiwan gathered on OSU’s main campus on October 13 and 15 for the East Asian Psycholinguistics Colloquium to share their most recent research on sentence processing, speech production and perception, language acquisition, and more. The Colloquium attracted an audience of over 50 from OSU and other institutions such as Indiana University, Ohio University, University of Cincinnati and University of Toledo. It featured seven invited talks and a graduate student poster session, all of which evoked lively and
OSU interactive discussion. The event received wide acclamation, as one invited speaker wrote, “It was a cozy conference with the right people in the right place and in best season! It was a treat.” As planning is underway for a second gathering at the University of Chicago, this inaugural event is likely to develop into a series. EAPC boasted a diverse array of invited speakers, both in terms of areas of research and in terms of career stages. They were John T. Hale (associate professor of computational linguistics at Cornell University), Kiwako Ito
exp (senior researcher of linguistics at The Ohio State University), Chien-Jer Charles Lin (assistant professor of linguistics at Indiana University), Tetsuya Sano (professor of linguistics at Meiji Gakuin University in Japan), James H.-Y. Tai (distinguished chair professor of linguistics and director of the Center of Humanities and Social Sciences at National Chung Cheng University in Taiwan), Puisan Wong (research scientist at the Eye & Ear Institute at The Ohio State University) and Ming Xiang (assistant professor of linguistics at the University of Chicago).
