Overview
Focusing on the early-modern to modern period of Chinese and Japanese history (17th century onwards), the field locates East Asia within a larger global framework.
We encourage East Asian History students at New York University to engage broadly with historical questions that emerged from within and that have helped shape the various East Asian societies, in their interactions with each other, and in the larger worlds of global diplomacy, culture, and capitalism.
Features
- Specific course guidelines are flexible and are tailored to the needs and abilities of each student.
- To qualify as a Ph.D. candidate, students normally take exams in three fields: a major field, a minor field, and a thematic field.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- All East Asian History candidates need to demonstrate proficiency in the East Asian language of their primary research (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, or Korean). Students should pass the language exam offered by GSAS or an equivalent body in the first year, if possible.
- While a language exam is sufficient for the GSAS requirement, the East Asian History faculty believe that a high level of fluency is better. We encourage students to attain a high level of spoken, written, and reading fluency.
- A second research language is highly recommended. The second language can be another East Asian language, or any other modern or classical language that might be useful for the student’s research project.
