Great news from home! Our ALTER proposal for a collective research project on Chinese and Sinophone transitions around the 1980s has been successful and will be funded by Spain’s Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. This is a highly competitive call, so we are all ecstatic. Super happy to share the project’s co-PI role with my colleague Carles Brasó. Can’t wait to begin working with the team–about fifteen scholars from different Catalan and Spanish universities. Great motivation for the days ahead at the library this summer.
