Robert Culp, professor of history, and Lu Kou, assistant professor of Chinese, have been awarded Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Scholar grants in support of their individual professional work. Culp was awarded a $15,000, one-year grant in support of his book project, Circuits of Meaning: Book Markets and Knowledge Production in Modern China, 1900-1965, which explores “how changing systems of book distribution in modern China shaped knowledge production and the formation of reading communities from 1900 to 1965.” Kou received a $20,000, one-year grant to support War of Words: Courtly Exchange, Rhetoric, and Political Culture in Early Medieval China, his book project that “examines the ‘discursive battles’ fought among rival states in China's early medieval period, specifically, how rhetoric—the art of verbal persuasion—constructed and contested political legitimacy in this age of multipolarity.”
