The program provides a rich curriculum for students to study both the traditional societies and cultures of Asia and their transformations in recent times. It also plays a vital role in infusing the study of Asia across Vassar\u2019s curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/asianstudies.vassar.edu\/\">https:\/\/asianstudies.vassar.edu\/<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Environmental Studies at Vassar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Environmental Studies (ENST) major is designed around the guiding principle that, at a liberal arts college, the study of the environment should involve all areas of the curriculum. At the same time, we believe that such a major develops best from a deep knowledge of individual disciplines.\u00a0 ENST majors have their disciplinary homes all over the campus, for any Vassar department, from Biology to Art, may provide a concentration. Knowledge of the natural sciences and their methods is an important part of any study of the environment, therefore all ENST majors reach at least the intermediate level in Biology, Chemistry, or Earth Science. This perspective is then complemented by a disciplinary focus in either the arts and humanities or the social sciences. When ENST students come together in the program\u2019s own multidisciplinary courses, they share their diverse disciplinary perspectives and, at the same time, learn how their different forms of knowledge gather around the field of environmental studies.<\/p>\n<p>Please visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/environmentalstudies.vassar.edu\/\">https:\/\/environmentalstudies.vassar.edu\/<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About LIASE\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Luce Initiative on Asian Studies and the Environment at Vassar College<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4584,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4584"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":329,"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pages.vassar.edu\/vassarliase\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
