Infusing Asian Studies into the Undergraduate Curriculum
Institute Bibliography
Recognizing the diverse interests that our participants bring to the Institute on Infusing Asian Studies into the Undergraduate Curriculum, as well as the interdisciplinary and broadly historical nature of the Institute program, we do not typically assign any mandatory readings as preparation for the program. We would, however, like you to read at least one history of China and Japan, and then explore the list in accord with your own interests.
Individual reading assignments from each of the presenters can be found on the Institute website and we encourage you to do the reading for the first couple of days prior to leaving home since jetlag and adjusting to life at Lincoln Hall will take its toll for the first couple of days.
