Prof Rui Hua is Awarded East Asia Studies Career Development Professorship

Each year, Boston University has the pleasure of recognizing a number of talented junior faculty who are emerging as future leaders within their respective fields with the awarding of Career Development Professorships.

The awards include a three-year, non-renewable research award designed to support research, scholarship, and creative work, as well as defrayal of a portion of the recipients’ salary. Nominations are submitted by the academic deans, and awardees are selected by the Office of the Provost.

This year, history’s assistant professor of history, Rui Hua, was awarded the East Asia Studies Career Development Professorship. This award is supported by a BU alumnus based in Taiwan that recognizes assistant professors from several BU colleges whose research is specific to East Asia, particularly China and Taiwan.
