Asian Studies Research

The Asian Studies Department at Hamilton College focuses on teaching students the importance of Asia's cultural traditions and its modern social and political transformations, offering a well-rounded, interdisciplinary approach to the study of Asia in the best tradition of liberal learning. Hamilton's students have the extraordinary opportunity to build upon their knowledge of Asia gained in the classroom. They work with members of the Asian Studies faculty to design individual research projects and to conduct research in Asia or the U.S. with summer research grants from the College. In the past few years, these research projects have taken students to such places as China, India, and London. Students can also conduct some or all of their research on campus.
