“We approach Asian studies<br />
from the varied perspectives of<br />
art, anthropology, economics,<br />
history, linguistics, literature,<br />
political science and religion.<br />
Even a favorite ‘J-pop’ song<br />
or anime piece may become a<br />
source for class discussion or<br />
student research.”<br />
