The Institute of European and American Studies (IEAS) is the only research unit in Academia Sinica devoted to studies of European and American societies as its main research objective. Key research areas of the Institute include literature, history, philosophy, law, political science, and sociology. The Institute currently has 22 full-time research fellows, including two distinguished research fellows, seven research fellows, nine associate research fellows, and four assistant research fellows. There are also one joint-appointed research fellow, seven adjunct research fellows, and four corresponding research fellows (see Appendix I for details). With the objective of planning and conducting prospective and visionary research, the Institute’s research fellows regularly invite scholars and experts from Academia Sinica and beyond to participate in cross-disciplinary exchanges and collaboration; we do so in order to realize the advantages that accrue from the unique characteristics of European and American Studies. The predecessor of the IEAS was the Institute of American Culture (1974-1991); our historical roots can be traced back to the Center for American Studies (1972-1974).
