  • 11. Yale-NUS College - a New Community Of
    11. Yale-NUS College - A New Community of Learning in Asia The project of “launching a new college” is daunting, and like the launch of a spacecraft, filled with risk and a sense of adventure. The sense of adventure was in the air as the group of inaugural faculty met at Yale’s campus in New Haven to begin the process of designing the curriculum for the new Yale-NUS College in Singapore in July 2012. Charles Bailyn, the inaugural Dean of the new college, had arranged for a dramatic first meeting of his new faculty to introduce themselves. In this meeting, each of the faculty members were to stand and walk to the front of the room, sign their names into a book, and give a brief introduction of themselves and their research interests. The gesture lent a historic feel to the occasion, and all present felt that their names would some day be read as “founders” of something new and exciting. The eclectic intellectual interests of the group were also on display, as various faculty members described their areas of expertise. Within the room were representatives of nearly every sphere of knowledge, soon to be “exported” to a new country to found a new institution and to teach a new curriculum that they were about to design. My own role in this historic occasion was as an ACE fellow, but I was also involved in developing the new Curriculum and was fully part of all the working groups of the new College. The faculty interests spanned the entire map of intellectual terrain - Western philosophy, Tamil Oratory, Philosophy of Science, trade in the British empire, migratory workers, spiders, Aristotelean notions of happiness, the sociology of HIV care, Renaissance literature, Thai politics, game theory and graphene.

  • Liberal Education in Asia: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities
    New Global Studies 2015; 9(3): 245–266 Pericles Lewis* and Katherine Rupp Liberal Education in Asia: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities DOI 10.1515/ngs-2015-0028 Abstract: In this article, we seek to establish what liberal education means in the Asia of today by examining different institutions in India, Japan, South Korea, and China. In particular, we have analyzed fourteen such programs and identi- fied certain commonalities, as well as important differences, particularly invol- ving governance structure. We then offer some insights gleaned from the first three years of one of the largest such undertakings, Yale-NUS College in Singapore. We conclude that partnerships with U.S. institutions offer expertise and prestige, but the spread of liberal education in Asia will also depend on change within the relatively rigid but prestigious public systems that dominate most education in the region. The curriculum should embrace the local culture but put it in conversation with broader trends both in Asia and the West. In order for these institutions to thrive, faculty and students must be free to teach, study, and conduct research on controversial subjects without political interference. Keywords: East-Asia, liberal education, universities, South Asia One of the most distinctive features of American higher learning, liberal arts education, has, in the past decade or so, inspired new programs and schools throughout Asia. While the international media has to some extent tracked this remarkable growth, what the terms “liberal education,”“liberal arts education,” “liberal arts and sciences education,” and “general education” mean varies widely from one context to the next.1 Although liberal education is often under- stood as an exclusively Western or even American approach, it in fact draws on ideals recognized in many parts of Asia.
