Two international researchers win fellowship to pursue year-long research in
Yale’s Day Missions Collection
Two international recipients of the David M. Stowe Fellowship for Mission
Research, Gu Jun and Laszlo Gonda, will use missions-related collections at the
Divinity Library to pursue their research over the next year.
Jun received a Ph.D. from Peking University and now works at the Research
Center of Overseas Sinology at Beijing Foreign Studies University. His current
research focuses on Samuel Wells Williams, one of the first American
missionaries to China and the first professor of Chinese at Yale.
Gonda is an ordained pastor in the Reformed Church in Hungary and a senior
lecturer in missions and ecumenical studies at the Debrecen Reformed
Theological University. He received his M.Div. degree from the Debrecen
Reformed Theological Academy in Hungary, an M.Th. from the Reformed Theological
University in the Netherlands, and is now in the doctoral program at the
University of Utrecht. His field of research is the development of the theology
of mission in the Reformed Church in Hungary in an ecumenical context.
The David M. Stowe Fund for Mission Research was established by Stowe’s family, in part, to provide funding for scholars to come to Yale to use the
Day Missions
Collection.
