HISTORY
Robert Hellyer
- Fellowship
Awarded $2,960
Source: Northeast Asia Council (NEAC) of the Association for Asian Studies with the support of the Japan-US Friendship Commission (JUSFC)
The project explores the economic and social ramifications of Japan's development of green tea as an export commodity to the US in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Funding will support archival research into a newly discovered source at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs Diplomatic Record Office in Tokyo.
- Green Tea and the Path to an Industrial,
International Japan
Awarded 2 fellowships for the period 6/1/07 to 8/30/08
and 9/1/07 to 5/31/08
Sources: Smithsonian Institution and the Japan Foundation
Dr. Helyer has won a Smithsonian Postdoctoral Fellowship for
the summer and a Japan Foundation grant from the Japanese government
for a year in Tokyo to develop a book manuscript and a museum
exhibit. Before going to Japan, he will conduct ten weeks of
research at the Freer & Sackler Galleries and the National
Museum of American History, parts of the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington, DC. The knowledge gleaned through art, photographs,
and advertisements will be used to create a public exhibit
on American consumption of Japanese tea, and he has already
made plans to partner with an experienced curator. In Tokyo,
he will continue his exploration of Japanese green tea export
to the United States for a book on the subject.

Revolutionary Nature Conservation in 1930s Mexico
NEH Summer Stipend, 2010
The book examines why a nation on the heels of revolutionary upheaval and in the midst of extensive reforms embraced nature conservation. Significantly revising common misconceptions about Latin America, it argues that the radical reconfiguration of society articulated in the Constitution of 1917 and the policies of President Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940) depended on a rational comprehension of the natural world that today might be interpreted as sustainability. By the 1920s, Mexican foresters, politicians, agriculturists, and workers sought to temper dust storms, erosion, and deforestation by making parks; nearly all still exist. Half a century before the United Nations defined sustainable development, the Mexican government and its vocal citizenry designed an integrated conservation model that promoted both nature protection and rural development as national patrimony.
