Asia Center Launches Newsletter
The Center for the Study of Asia, a regional center within the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, has launched a newsletter for Fall 2014 on its website.
“This newsletter offers highlights of some of the activities we organized in the past year, and shows once again the vibrancy of our Asian Studies community, its interaction with several BU Schools and Centers, and beyond the university,” said Eugenio Menegon, director of the Center for the Study of Asia. “Explore these pages to see how lucky we are to have such wonderful teachers and scholars at BU, with accomplishments ranging from the award of prestigious fellowships to recent publications.
The newsletter is available in PDF format at The center for the Study of Asia’s website.
Highlights of the newsletter include the new Asian Studies Interdisciplinary Major, as well as introductions to new faculty members Charles Chang, Siobhan M. Mattison, and Jungsoo Kim.
In 2014-15, the Center for the Study of Asia’s theme is “Asia in Love.” Presentations by scholars, writers, and artists, documentary and film screenings, collaborations with other BU and Boston-area centers, musical and cultural events, and more, form our year-long thread, illuminating the multifaceted aspects of this important topic.
