Yating Li

Yating Li is PhD candidate in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. Last academic year, she received both a conference and dissertation travel grant from CEAPS to present at the 2026 Association of Asian Studies Annual Conference in Vancouver, Canada and conduct research in Nanjing and Shanghai, China. Both travel grants were made possible from donors like you who give money to students to study abroad and present their research abroad! 

"This grant is invaluable to me as it enables me to travel back to China, which is my home country, and dig more marginalized sources in multiple archives and libraries," says Yating Li. "My project relied on different types of materials existed randomly in different places.  Only by doing in-depth archival research can I continue my research."
