ASIA

in the

Undergraduate Curriculum

A CONSORTIUM OF LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES TO PROMOTE ASIAN STUDIES

ASIANetwork is a consortium of about 150 North American colleges working together to strengthen the understanding and presence of Asia in liberal arts colleges. We believe that the liberal arts curriculum must incorporate within it a significant component of Asian Studies. This will help prepare a new generation of undergraduates for a changing world in which Asian societies will play prominent roles.

ASIANetwork thus responds to the need for Asian countries and cultures to be represented on our campuses and for our students and faculty to experience these cultures first hand. In a time of fiscal constraints, the Network has been created by member colleges to facilitate conversations among their faculty and administrators in the development of new programs, the strengthening of current ones, and the exploration of new opportunities for collaboration among institutions. The unique teaching mission, scale, and resource limitations of the undergraduate liberal arts institution pose special opportunities and challenges in the development of Asian Studies, and ASIANetwork aims to meet these needs.

Suzanne Wilson Barnett and Van Jay Symons

This book explores the dynamic teaching and learning evidenced in liberal arts education, and it suggests that the study of Asia at the undergraduate level enriches and deepens liberal arts education. The book chronicles the growing awareness of the value of integrating coordinated courses on Asian life and thought into college curricula as a basis for enabling students to understand, and contribute to, an increasingly mobile world of diverse societies and cultures. Moreover, the book argues that the rich intellectual and cultural traditions of Asia enhance liberal arts education. The chapters that follow make a case for Asian studies in the liberal arts, but in the process they also make a case for the liberal arts.
