These summer institutes are a collaboration between the Consortium of Humanities Centers and Institutes and the Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation for International Scholarly Exchange.

The 2018 institute will mark the third year in this phase of the project, following the 2016 institute, “Grasping Water: Rivers and Human Systems in China, Africa, and North America,” awarded to the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Minnesota (documented in the journal Open Water), and “China in a Global World War Two,” awarded to the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities (CRASSH) at Cambridge University (and documented on their website).
