Harvard University Asia Center

The Harvard University Asia Center was founded in 1997 as a university-wide interfaculty initiative. From its inception, the Asia Center has been committed to facilitating the study of Asia at Harvard University by fostering research and bringing together faculty members, students, scholars, and other practitioners to explore the interconnected histories of the region and the significant issues facing Asia today. Given that many current research questions and challenges are not limited to a single country or region but transcend borders, the Asia Center prioritizes transnational research across Asia’s regions.
