Asian Studies Development Program, East-West Center
The Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP) was launched in 1991 to enhance
teaching about Asia at American two-year and four-year colleges and universities at
the undergraduate level. In recent years, ASDP has also included Asian faculty in
selected programs. Since its inception, more than 1,500 professors from the U.S. and
Asia have participated in ASDP programs. A joint program of the East-West Center
and the University of Hawaiʼi, ASDP offers a variety of content-focused faculty and
institutional development programs and activities centered around summer
residential institutes, field seminars in Asia, workshops on the U.S. mainland, and an
annual academic conference.
The East-West Center is an education and research organization established by the
U.S. Congress in 1960 to strengthen relations and understanding among the peoples
and nations of Asia, the Pacific, and the United States. The Center contributes to a
peaceful, prosperous, and just Asia Pacific community by serving as a vigorous hub
for cooperative research, education, and dialogue on critical issues of common
concern to the Asia Pacific region and the United States. Funding for the Center
comes from the U.S. government, with additional support provided by private
agencies, individuals, foundations, corporations, and the governments of the region.
Association for Asian Studies
The Association for Asian Studies (AAS) is a scholarly, non-political, non-profit
professional association open to all persons interested in Asia and the study of Asia.
With approximately 7,000 members worldwide, representing all the regions and
countries of Asia and all academic disciplines, the AAS is the largest organization of
its kind.
Center for East Asian Studies, Monterey Institute of International Studies
The Center for East Asian Studies (CEAS) sponsors research, lectures, and
seminars on subjects relating to East Asia. Currently, CEAS is examining crossborder
human flows in Northeast Asia, including China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and
Russia; economic and environmental cooperation in the region; the prospects for
Northeast Asia's regionalism; and the U.S.-Japan security alliance.
Society for East Asian Anthropology
The Society for East Asian Anthropology (SEAA) is an officially recognized section
within the American Anthropological Association (AAA), open to all members of the
AAA, but its activities are intended to reach beyond the membership of the AAA. Any
anthropologist anywhere in the world is welcome to join SEAA, to subscribe to our
EASIANTH listserv, to post, and to participate. SEAA is committed to developing
international channels of communication among anthropologists throughout the
world. We hope to promote discussion and share information on diverse topics
related to the anthropology of Taiwan; PRC; Hong Kong; Japan; Korea; other
societies/cultures of Asia and the Pacific Basin with historical or contemporary ties to
East Asia; transnational linkages among East Asian or between East Asian and other
societies/cultures; and diasporic societies/cultures identified with East Asia.
