Asian Languages and Literatures offer Chinese, Japanese, and Korean from the elementary to advanced level and cultivate knowledge of East Asia with the histories, culture, and societies.
The researchers read and/or produce:
- articles, either in academic journals (peer-reviewed publications of research, generally more theoretical) or professional journals and magazines (usually written by and for practitioners in the field, generally focused on practical skills, news, etc.).
- books can provide a broad overview of a topic (often for non-specialists), or they can provide the space for a more expanded or in-depth presentation of research results or professional practices.
- audio and video recordings are employed by many cultural scholars producing recordings of their subjects of study.
- websites can enhance local knowledge providing you look at them through a critical eye understanding the reason for their existence.
- primary sources provide uninterpreted records of the subject of your research project.
