EASC Newsletter: A publication of the East Asian Studies Center, Indiana University

Welcome!

This issue of the EASC Newsletter is the first to be solely web-published. The web format gives us the freedom to include more complete coverage of topics that interest you. This issue includes an interview with Taiwanese historian Hsiung Ping-Chen, previews of upcoming events, and a story about Bloomington educators learning how to bring East Asia into the classroom. As always, the newsletter begins with a letter from our Director, George Wilson. The regular sections on faculty, student, and alumni news are, of course, also included.

We realize that becoming a web-published newsletter requires a transition period, for both the Newsletter and its readers. We welcome suggestions. Do you have an event that you think should be covered? Do certain sections of our Newsletter leave you thirsting for more? Do others always remain unread? Please e-mail your ideas and comments to rmenyhar@indiana.edu, or call EASC at (812) 855-3765.

A "lifetime subscription" to the Newsletter is available to anyone! If you or someone you know is interested in being added to the EASC Newsletter subscription list, click on Subscribe to submit your information and you will receive e-mail notification of the publication of each quarterly issue.

A New Newsletter, A New Name

Long known simply as East Asian Newsletter or East Asian News, we have decided that it is time to christen the newsletter with a reader-chosen name that better reflects our goals.

Creative minds are encouraged to submit entries that reflect the EASC mission: to promote education and awareness about East Asia, at IU, in the Midwest, and throughout the country. If you have an idea for a name that reflects this focus, submit it to rmenyhar@indiana.edu or write a note to:

Russell Menyhart
Memorial Hall West 207
1021 East Third Street
Bloomington, IN 47405-7005

Just in case self-satisfaction isn't an attractive enough incentive to submit a suggestion, the winning entry will receive an EASC totebag and coffee cup. Be sure to include your address and phone number with any entry so that we can contact the winner. Deadline for entries is November 30, 2001.
