Betty Lee Sung Research Fellowship - New York, United States - Museum of Chinese in America
Description
The Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) is a nonprofit institution that engages audiences in an ongoing dialogue, in which people of all backgrounds are able to see American history and society through a critical lens, to reflect on their own experiences, and to make meaningful connections between the past and the present, the global and the local, themselves and others. MOCA celebrates the living history of the Chinese experience in America by preserving and presenting the two century-long history, heritage, culture, and diverse experiences of American communities of Chinese descent. As one of "America's Cultural Treasures," MOCA is devoted to educating the public on this important history and to inspiring meaningful intercultural dialogues through exhibitions, education, and public programs. Since its founding in 1980, MOCA has evolved from a Chinatown history project in New York City into an ambitious reflection of the whole of Chinese American history, becoming the country's leading museum of Chinese American history and a global destination.Betty Lee Sung Research Fellowship
MOCA supports rigorous scholarship and creative approaches to exhibition-making. To further these values, MOCA is launching the Betty Lee Sung Research Fellowship, which will support an emerging scholar, post-doctoral academic, or independent curator to conduct object-based research for an upcoming exhibition.
In addition to research in MOCA's Collections and in other libraries and archives, the fellow will be involved in planning and content development discussions with the exhibition team, consisting of scholars, artists, designers, curators and other MOCA staff. Working directly with MOCA's curatorial team, the fellow will receive mentorship, training and guidance in the research, development, and production of a major multimedia historical exhibition.
The fellowship is named in honor of Betty Lee Sung, a pioneering scholar of Chinese and Asian American history, whose archives are housed at MOCA. The fellow will be awarded a $10,000 stipend for the six-month fellowship.
Fellowship Term:
Only full application including the following materials will be considered.
Research shows that women and people from underrepresented groups often apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We recognize that it is highly unlikely that someone meets 100% of the qualifications for a role. If much of this job description describes you, then please apply for this role.
The Museum of Chinese in America is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, pregnancy (including childbirth or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, genetic information, military or veteran status, citizenship, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
About the Betty Lee Sung Research Fellowship
The Betty Lee Sung Research Fellowship at MOCA will support an exceptional young scholar to conduct research for an upcoming temporary exhibition exploring a facet of Chinese American history. The fellow will receive mentorship from MOCA's curatorial team and an opportunity to contribute to the development of a major multimedia historical exhibition.
Betty Lee Sung was a pioneering scholar of Chinese and Asian American history. She founded the first Asian American Studies program on the east coast at City College of New York in 1970. Her books include Mountain of Gold: The Story of the Chinese in America (1967), The Chinese in America (1973), and Chinese American Manpower and Employment
