| Title | Hmong Studies Consortium Launched |
| Body | From http://seasia.wisc.edu/News/news.htm With generous funding from the Henry Luce Foundation, the UW-Madison Center for Southeast Asian Studies and the Univ. of Minnesota Consortium for the Study of the Asias have established a Hmong Studies Consortium. The UW-UM Hmong Studies Consortium intends to establish a major collaborative program that will serve all of the United States – one that will develop faculty expertise, offer new courses, encourage and sponsor research, and systematically collect and preserve resources related to the study of the Hmong. Primary attention will be directed to the study of the Hmong in Southeast Asia, with a secondary interest in Hmong resettlement in the United States. The Univ. of Minnesota already has two tenure-track faculty members focusing on Hmong Studies and UW presently has none, so the Luce Foundation grant is providing seed money to establish a tenure-track faculty position in Hmong Studies at UW-Madison beginning Fall 2010. The Univ. of Minnesota is using money from the grant to fund a post-doctoral researcher. Both universities will be offering graduate assistantships in Hmong Studies in upcoming academic years.
