I think probably everybody already knows about the following announcement. It was a message that was circulated in our listserv some time ago. Just now, I received an update from Prof. Jingrong Li. She said that her university (Wuhan University of Technology, WHUT) would be glad to be sponsoring part of the effort. Such sponsoring would be primarily provided by the Institute of Higher Education of WHUT.
The Institute of Higher Education is a key academic research unit within WHUT that consists of a team of nationally and internationally renowned educational researchers. They offer graduate programs in education (Higher Education, Educational Administration, Educational Economics, etc.). They conduct research projects that cover a variety of issues in the field of education.
WHUT would provide a monthly stipend to those who are awarded the fellowship and are interested in coming to its Institute of Higher Education for a short term teaching trip. Additional support from WHUT may also be possible, depending upon budget approval.
If interested, please contact Prof. Jingrong Li at lijingrong04@hotmail.com. She can also be reached by phone at 859-420-6720.
