2025
In a tumultuous year, the Weatherhead East Asian Institute continued to look both forward and back under the stewardship of Director Lien-Hang T. Nguyen. In the spring, we marked twin anniversaries in America's relationship with Vietnam through a three-day conference; in the fall, one new lecture series fostered opportunities for scholarship on Taiwan, while another surveyed responses to the COVID-19 pandemic across the Chinese-speaking world. Throughout the year we hosted our usual broad spectrum of visiting scholars committed to the study of Northeast, Southeast, and Inner Asia.

2024
In 2024 the Weatherhead East Asian Institute marked its 75th anniversary year with a series of events that both celebrated its legacy and signaled its commitment to advancing the study of Northeast, Inner, and Southeast Asia. Most noteworthy was a summer tour to seven Asian cities — Tokyo, Taipei, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Beijing — that allowed the Institute to collaborate with new local partners and simultaneously reconnect with overseas alumni.
