East Asian Languages and Cultures
The Bi-College Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures is housed at both 魅影直播 and Haverford. Our mission is to foster learning about East Asia through rigorous language study and through deep and exploratory engagement with prominent themes and sources from East Asian countries.
Our curriculum seeks to decenter traditional ideas about East Asia, whether seen from the West or from within, that inform many popular as well as many academic stereotypes.
The major seeks to train students in language, guide them through a curriculum that situates East Asian culture within global discourses, and nurture their skills in critical thinking, research, and writing. The two language programs, Chinese and Japanese, are central and foremost in this effort.
Many students choose to study abroad in China or Japan during the school year or during the summer to enrich their knowledge and experience; alumni have pursued a wide variety of fields after graduation, both in East Asia and in the United States.
