Caroline Yang was recently awarded a Mid-Career Post-Tenure (MCPT) Fellowship from the Office of Faculty Development.
This competitively awarded fellowship provides a research-intensive semester to Associate Professors whose service and teaching responsibilities have exceeded the norm.
The Mid-Career Fellowship will support Yang as she completes her second monograph, The Korean War in Black America, in which she considers African American literature through the framework of the Korean War. It will also enable her to turn to her third monograph, The K-Word: Antiblackness, Black Freedom Struggles, and U.S. Imperialism in Korea. The K-Word promises to reexamine Korea’s self-image as a racially homogeneous nation in which race is insignificant.
