Asian/Pacific Studies Institute (APSI)
APSI serves as the central hub for interdisciplinary research, teaching, and cultural programming focused on the Asia Pacific region at Duke University. Established in 1981, the institute fosters a vibrant academic community by administering an M.A. in East Asian Studies alongside a dedicated graduate certificate program. APSI actively coordinates campus events like the annual Speaker Series, offers funding opportunities for students and faculty, and supports research on issues like climate change and the environment. By maintaining robust international exchanges and local collaborations, APSI promotes understanding of East and Southeast Asian languages, histories, and societies.
