The Department of Comparative Literature is proud to announce that Dr. Junting Huang has been
awarded a 2024 ACLS Fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS).
The ACLS Fellowship Program supports scholars who are poised to make original and
significant contributions to knowledge in any field of the humanities or interpretive social
sciences. Dr. Huang has been recognized as one of 60 exceptional early-career scholars selected through a
multi-stage peer review from a pool of 1,100 applicants.
Dr. Huang’s research “The Noise Decade” explores a crucial but often overlooked encounter across
the Taiwan Strait in the 1990s, when both Chinese and Taiwanese artists began to experiment
with sound in its capacity to document social changes and historical ruptures.
Heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Huang!
Founded as a graduate program in 1904 and joining with the undergraduate Literature Concentration in 2007, Harvard’s Department of Comparative Literature operates at the crossroads of multilingualism, literary study, and media history.
