Research in Asian Studies
Faculty members conduct research in their various specialties. Overviews of research projects and information on their publications, honors, and awards can be found on the faculty page.
In addition, faculty are committed to assisting students in developing their own work outside of classes. For example, a scholarship is available annually for research on India, and an award is made each year for the best undergraduate research paper in an Asian studies class. Faculty also help students to submit their papers to appropriate journals and conferences.
