Asia in Global Perspective
The Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies, part of the Keough School of Global Affairs, supports education, research, and outreach about Asia and its diaspora through degree programs, funding initiatives, public events, and reciprocal engagement with partners in Asia.
If our goal is to prepare students for the world that faces them when they graduate, then understanding Asia is an absolute necessity.
