Are we doing our books on here? Mine came out in April. It shows how the traditional Chinese novel Water Margin crossed boundaries of elite and popular, private and commercial, civil and martial through the power of print. Download a copy, it's free! www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

This would be the end of the University of Arizona's Center for East Asian Studies:
Here we go. of all IFLE funding. No FLAS fellowships or NRC area studies centers nationwide.
Might be nice of even a single university president was willing to speak up about this disaster for R1 universities & their students.

We founded the U of Arizona Center for East Asian Studies three years ago with a US Dept of Education grant. Last Friday marked the end of year 3 of 4. Though the grant was for four years, we have not received word about year 4 funding. Without this support, we have no choice but to close down.
