Luce Initiative on East and Southeast Asian Archaeology and Early History
The Luce Initiative on East and Southeast Asian Archaeology and Early History is a field development initiative conducted in partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS).
Dramatic archaeological finds are challenging traditional interpretations of the origins and the social, cultural and political development of civilizations in Northeast and Southeast Asia. Responding to these discoveries, the goals of this initiative are to train the next generation of specialists, strengthen institutional programs, and support innovative research. The initiative also aims to foster links between Asian and North American scholars, and promote wider visibility and public appreciation of this subject.
The program has two parallel competitions: (1) institutional grants to invited North American universities and museums, managed by the Foundation’s Asia Program, and (2) individual fellowships and grants for graduate students and scholars from Asia and North America, administered by ACLS.
In its first three years, the Initiative has supported thirteen institutional grants, for six new faculty positions and seven collaborative research projects, and awards to seventy-three individuals (thirty-three North Americans and forty Asians).
In June 2008, the Foundation's Directors authorized an extension of the Initiative for two years (2009 and 2010).
