East Asian studies and history professor Benjamin Elman has been honored with one of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s three Distinguished Achievement Awards.
Elman, the Gordon Wu ’58 Professor of Chinese Studies and the chair of the East Asian Studies department, will be granted as much as $1.5 million.
The awards are designed to “enable notable scholars in the humanities to work under especially favorable conditions and to underscore the decisive contributions the humanities make to the nation’s intellectual life,” according to the Mellon Foundation website.
The award is open to tenured faculty members at American “institutions of higher education.”
Elman’s research focuses on Chinese culture. He studies “the development of the sciences and intellectual life more broadly,” according to the Mellon Foundation website.
