The Research Grants Council launched three new schemes – RGC Senior Research Fellow Scheme, RGC Research Fellow Scheme and the RGC Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme – in the fall of 2019 and in the summer of 2020. The two Fellow Schemes intend to provide sustained support and relief from teaching and administrative duties for exceptionally outstanding academics. The PDF Scheme aims at providing support to very early career talent in building up academic careers in Hong Kong as a postdoctoral fellow (PDF).
We are so proud to announce that Prof. David A. Palmer and Dr. Jonathan York Heng Hui have been awarded the RGC Research Fellowship and the RGC Postdoctoral Fellowship.
With the funding support, Prof. Palmer will start a new project on “Chinese Modernity and Soft Power on the Belt and Road”.
Dr. Hui will continue his research on exploring the poetics of the historical romance, employing comparative approaches to examine the fiction of Jin Yong (金庸) alongside the British tradition, which includes authors such as Walter Scott, William Morris and J. R. R. Tolkien.
