Asian & Asian American Studies Faculty
Our faculty are committed teachers and scholars who represent a range of disciplines, including Art and Art History, Economics, English, Global Studies, History, and Political Science. They’ve researched topics like religion in the People’s Republic of China, caste in contemporary India, and 19th century Japanese samurai. They’ve published in major journals, written scholarly books, and have even produced works of art and literature. They hold degrees from institutions like Brown, Columbia, Harvard, and UC Berkeley.
More importantly, our faculty love to teach. Whether they’re exploring classical literature or explaining the intricacies of contemporary economics, professors in Asian & Asian American Studies have a real passion for introducing students to the richness and diversity of Asia—past and present.
