Asia Workshop is the dynamic working space where students and instructors work together to discuss emerging issues in Asia. Topics for discussion changes every year to keep up with changes at both regional and global scales.
For this year, the workshop focuses the discussion on “What is Asia?” Is Asia just a group of countries with different culture, histories and economies? What is so unique about Asia? What, in addition to its geographical location, makes Asia Asian and remain Asian in the context of globalization? To answer the question, we will provide a series of guest-speaker lectures on Asia and its member countries to generate understanding in width and in depth about Asia and how it has adapted to globalization.
We also design activities of fieldwork simulation to engage students in intensive observation of what is around in their living environment. We will introduce Immersive technologies to facilitate the students’ first-hand observations.
