Call for Nominations, 3 January – 4 March 2022

Reposted from https://www.gradnas.com/aileen-san-pablo-baviera-prize.


In memory of our dear friend and colleague, GRADNAS has established the Aileen San Pablo Baviera Prize, to recognize impactful academic publications on Southeast Asia-China international relations.

​Aileen S. P. Baviera was a leading Southeast Asian scholar, an expert on Philippine foreign policy and a China specialist, whose research focused on China’s international and security relations, especially in Southeast Asia. She traversed the academic and policy worlds with equal ease. Her work was marked by accuracy and integrity, and she brought grace, humility and kindness to all her engagements with others. In 2016, Professor Baviera noted that “it is important to put more China content across different fields so that a broad range of stakeholders will come to appreciate the different aspects of China”, and reminded us that “[t]he goal is to publish more original research and come up with research-based analyses and recommendations.”

For more information about Professor Aileen San Pablo Baviera’s work and legacy which this prize commemorates, see this short article in the Chinese Studies Journal vol. 15.
