UKCHA Fellowship Programme 2023

The UK-China Humanities Alliance is pleased to announce awards for 10 Research Fellowships taking place at UK member institutions of the UKCHA across 2023 and 2024.

With the generous support of the British Council’s (Re-)Connecting Research in China Enabling Grant, these Fellowships support early-career researchers and academic leaders in the humanities from Chinese UKCHA member universities to take up collaborative research placements at UKCHA member universities in the UK. Fellows will be working together with their hosts on a range of exciting projects exploring key themes across the humanities:
