The workshop will take place on the campus of the University of Redlands, 65 miles east of Los Angeles. It is open to full-time faculty from North American colleges and universities. Approximately 35 applicants will be selected for participation. Both scholars in Asian Studies and non-Asianists are welcome to apply.

Scott Littleton (Occidental College); "'Romance of the Fruit Peddler': Images of Urban Transformation in Early Twentieth Century China" with Dr. Paul Pickowicz (University of California, San Diego).
