- Dr. Desmond Cheung: "Dr. Cheung developed a new approach to interpreting the society of Ming dynasty China by analyzing the history of famous places in the city of Hangzhou. He showed how different social groups helped construct significant sites and the sites' meanings, thereby enhancing current perspectives on social interaction and contestation in late imperial China." (November 2011)
- Dr. Naomi Kim Lloyd: "Dr. Lloyd examined the same-sex relationships of the prominent Victorian Evangelical, Constance Maynard, and argued that rather than a transgression of Maynard's faith they were integral to it. Lloyd presents a new approach to the relationship between Christianity and sexuality, one which she hopes will inform contemporary Christian dialogue on homosexuality." (November 2011)
- Dr. Tim Sedo: "Dr. Sedo examined a small Northern Chinese county during the Ming period to provide a new regional alternative to the dominant 'Jiangnan Model' of Late Imperial Chinese studies. In doing so, he provides a new local vantage point to rethink the deeply regional character of the composite Ming realm." (May 2011)
- Dr. Avram Agov: "Dr. Agov studied the international political economy of North Korea. His research reveals that North Korea's economic integration into the socialist system was greater than its ideology and politics of "self reliance" indicated. North Korea's external ties, though curtailed at times, made its unreformed domestic system more resilient than scholarship has previously indicated." (May 2010)
- Dr. Miguel Aviles-Galan: "Dr. Aviles identified and examined a long-overdue topic in modern Mexican history: the exceptional case of the manufacture of steam engines by a local firm during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This case study of technological translation overturned dominant understandings of mechanization premised upon the idea of the "transfer" of technology into Mexico while making an argument for the centrality of steam engines to modern Mexico."
