Michael Huang

Michael Huang is a PhD Student in the Department of Political Science. This year, Michael traveled to the International Studies Association Annual Convention in Columbus, Ohio to present his research on how people in developing countries develop trust in foreign aid and the countries that provide it. 

His travel was made possible because of a CEAPS Conference Travel Grant awarded to him to help him further his thought provoking research. Your donations towards CEAPS goes towards students like Michael in the forms of travel grants and other aid that can help them achieve their academic goals. "Attending the International Studies Association Annual Convention is both personally meaningful and academically transformative for me," says Michael Huang. "As a Ph.D. candidate working on the political economy of foreign aid and public opinion, this opportunity allows me to situate my research within a broader international scholarly community and receive direct feedback from leading researchers in international relations."
