  • With its current full-time faculty of 40 professors and language instructors in the EAS department, frequent international visiting professors, and an additional 10 professors specializing on East Asia in the Departments of Art and Archaeology, Comparative Literature, Sociology, Religion, and Politics, Princeton is home to a vibrant community of scholars and students working on the civilizations of East Asia in all their rich historical and contemporary dimensions. All EAS historians have joint appointments in the Department of History, and Professor Erin Huang has a joint appointment in the Department of  Comparative Literature.
  • The department is committed to interdisciplinary research and training, and most of our students take seminars across a range of different disciplines. At the same time, EAS also allows for a clear focus in a particular discipline. At Princeton, historians, literature scholars, and social scientists are full members of our department. 
  • Graduate students in the fields of history, literature, and anthropology are eligible to take the core introductory seminars in the Departments of History, Comparative Literature, and Anthropology. Students in EAS have their advisers in the EAS department but in addition have the opportunity—and are strongly encouraged—to take any number of courses in the relevant disciplinary department. Furthermore, faculty from relevant disciplinary departments routinely serve on EAS dissertation committees.
