Asian Studies Development Program

The Asian Studies Development Program (ASDP) is an initiative aimed at enhancing the understanding of Asian cultures and societies in educational institutions, particularly in the United States. It provides resources, training, and support for educators to develop courses and materials focused on Asia. The program fosters interdisciplinary approaches, encouraging collaboration among various fields of study. ASDP aims to broaden awareness of Asia's diverse cultures, histories, and contemporary issues, ultimately enriching students' global perspective and promoting cross-cultural understanding.
