The Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies announces the formation of the Asian Studies Centre of Cambridge (ASC). The primary purpose of the ASC is the promotion of interdisciplinary research activity related to Asia throughout the University, primarily through cross-faculty collaboration across a wide range of academic disciplines in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. In conjunction with the Department of East Asian Studies, the ASC will work to integrate and enhance Asian Studies within the University while promoting engagement between Cambridge and the wider Asian region. Those wishing to register an interest in the ASC and/or to be added to its mailing list should contact Dr John Swenson-Wright (email jhs22@cam.ac.uk or tel. 01223 335172).
