We encourage students to approach this process with rigor, specificity, and comprehensiveness. We ask that each application offer:
· A 250-300 word description of the research agenda and why it is meaningful for the student’s future work in Asian American Studies and/or their larger career goals.
· A work schedule, accompanied by a specific timetable for travel and lodging.
· An itemized budget in USD.
Students should be aware:
· Travel as above, reasonable lodging, photocopy costs, and museum entrance fees for research purposes are all permissible costs for research trips.
· Students will submit receipts including boarding passes immediately after their trip. A travel advance is possible for prepaid airfare with receipts. If automobile mileage reimbursement is requested, you must submit a map with mileage indicated, as well as providing an airfare quote to verify that mileage costs were less than the airfare. If renting a car domestically, extra insurance is not reimbursed. No reimbursement can be made for lost receipts.
Please email your proposals to Sabnam Ghosh, Asian American Studies Lecturer (sabnamghosh@wustl.edu) and Noah Cohan, AMCS Assistant Director (ncohan@wustl.edu) by the May 1st deadline.
