IEAS booth at the 2004 Association for Asian Studies Meeting
The Institute for East Asian Studies (IEAS) is an Organized Research Unit that serves as the focal point for all of UC Berkeley programs related to East Asia and the Pacific. Frequently ranked first in depth and breadth among all such programs in the nation, East Asian Studies at Berkeley is a unique national resource and an invaluable asset for California and the West Coast.
The Institute unites the major East Asian programs on the UC Berkeley campus, including:
The Institute fosters the interdisciplinary study of contemporary and historical East Asia, including the region's relationship to the United States. It draws on a broad spectrum of eminent Berkeley faculty in a variety of areas, including anthropology, architecture, art history, business, economics, East Asian languages and cultures, film studies, geography, history, journalism, law, public health, political science, psychology, social welfare, and sociology. It also partners with communities and organizations outside academia, including business, journalism, government and the world of art and culture, to strengthen teaching and research on East Asia at Berkeley.
IEAS is closely affiliated with the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and the East Asian Library, and with the institute, centers, and programs under International and Area Studies.
IEAS is located on the 6th floor of 2223 Fulton Street, at the southwest corner of the UC Berkeley campus. Directions to IEAS are available in the events section.
