The University of Notre Dame’s Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies funds projects within its Justice and Asia thematic cluster. The program examines justice through social, political, economic, cultural, historical, and linguistic perspectives, welcoming comparative and multidisciplinary work. Every proposal should place Asia at its center.
Justice is understood broadly to include social justice, ethics, fairness, well-being, freedom, dignity, inequality, discrimination, poverty, poetic justice, and environmental justice. Theoretical investigations into Asian concepts of justice are also welcome. The cluster supports interdisciplinary research, meaningful events, new courses, social engagement projects, policy initiatives, visiting scholars, and postdoctoral appointments. Students are also encouraged to propose internships, volunteer work, and other experiential opportunities with organizations aligned with the theme.
