Through a multidisciplinary approach, Asian Studies seeks an understanding of the societies, cultures, beliefs, politics, economies, and histories of the world’s most populous region. We study languages, documents, religious and philosophical texts, literature, film, the environment, and people’s accounts to gain knowledge and insights on the human experience in Asia and the Asian diaspora. The program at the U of L boasts internationally-respected specialists in religious studies, women and gender studies, languages and linguistics, sociology, management, economics, health sciences, anthropology, geography, and history. Asian Studies exemplifies the principles of Liberal Education. The U of L, Lethbridge, and Southern Alberta are home to a growing diversity of Asian cultures and communities. Join us for opportunities to study about, engage with, and even travel in Asia!
