Critical Studies on Asia is an initiative aimed at providing opportunities for faculty and students to present their research or to pursue collaborative projects on topics and issues of methodology of special importance to the study of Asia. It is also dedicated to promoting the integration of the study of Asia into the curriculum across campus and encouraging more cross-cultural scholarship.

To that end CSA will organize or support a number of activities, including: a speaker series to bring new or forthcoming research onto campus; an ongoing series of workshops through which faculty and scholars at other institutions can undertake long-term collaborative and publication-oriented research projects; supplemental research funds for students to encourage broader interest in Asia; a forum for manuscript reading and support for publications workshops for faculty to encourage the development of new comparative and interdisciplinary course offerings.
