Asian history at UNCChapel Hill has flourished and grown considerably in recent years. Its diverse faculty offers a wide range of courses that, despite their varying temporal and spatial focuses, are all designed to equip students with a critical spirit of enquiry and understanding with regard to a region of the world where over half of humanity now resides. The research and teaching interests of the Asian history faculty include the region's pre-modern histories, its transformation in more recent times, business and economic developments, social and cultural formations, gender relations, experience with colonialism and nationalism, and relations with the United States and other parts of the world. Students can choose courses that range from introductions to specific sub-units within the region (South Asia, China, and Japan) to more advanced courses with thematic focuses (colonialism, gender, historical memory, the Pacific War). Students may pursue graduate study in Asian history in two different ways. Because the History faculty voted in the spring 2007 to approve a doctoral field in Asian history, students may now select Asian history as a primary field at the master's degree level and the Ph.D. level. Students in the master's degree and doctoral degree programs may also focus on Asian history from a transnational perspective through the Global History Program. Students who are interested in the Global History Program should consult the description of that program.
