The Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library is excited to announce Professor Jeremy Tai and Chloe Mei Yee Wong-Mersereau as our inaugural Resources Access Grant Program visiting scholars in 2021. For the duration of March 2021, the East Asian Library will support the research projects of our grantees through access to resources available in our collections.

Jeremy Tai is an assistant professor of modern Chinese history at McGill University. Considering socialist critiques of racial capitalism and their legacies in contemporary China, Tai will be researching the conceptualization of race and ethnicity in the People’s Republic of China.

Chloe Mei Yee Wong-Mersereau is a graduating student from McGill University in Anthropology and Indigenous Studies. Her interests in the tradition of Chinese opera in Canadian diaspora and aging Asian communities in long-term care facilities across Canada intertwine in her research to develop resources for aging Asian communities across the country to ease their transition into old age.

Warm congratulations to our scholars!
