CEAPS Research Travel Grants are one of CEAPS' many ways of performing outreach to help Illinois' educators, students and communities achieve their academic ambitions! Please consider donating to CEAPS on the LAS Day of Giving to help us reach out and help more people do amazing things like Ann's Singapore conference trip! The Association of Chinese and Comparative Literature Conference "is one of the biggest conferences for comparatists on Chinese literature, history and media," says Ann (Xiaoxu) Pei. "It was a great opportunity for me learn about the current status in the field and exchange ideas with senior professors at the conference."
