More than $12 million in new federal grants will drive dramatic expansion of UC Berkeley programs focused on international and regional studies, with benefits for both students and scholars, campus leaders announced today.
The grants from the U.S. Department of Education will go to research centers and institutes specializing in the history, politics, economics, languages, cultures and societies of regions spanning the globe.
GIAS director Rosemary Joyce, an anthropology professor and social archaeologist who has served in several campus leadership positions during her 28 years at UC Berkeley, has received an honorary doctorate from Leiden University in the Netherlands for her “outstanding research into the ancient civilizations of Mesoamerica and Mexico,” according to an announcement from Leiden University’s doctorate board.
On July 1, 2021, the term of Prof. Jeroen Dewulf (Dept. of German) as founding director of GIAS came to an end. Dewulf will continue his work as director of the Institute of European Studies, a position he will now combine with that of Faculty Academic Director of Study Abroad. Dewulf will be succeeded as GIAS director by Prof. Rosemary Joyce (Dept. of Anthropology).
