Joint MA Program: The Departments of Philosophy and Asian & Asian American Studies

This interdisciplinary joint program brings together expert faculty in the history of philosophy in two of Stony Brook University’s departments: Asian & Asian American Studies, and Philosophy. It enables students to broaden their knowledge of philosophy by treating it as a world-wide, rather than an exclusively Western, undertaking. The program provides humanities students with philosophically informed and historically grounded perspectives on what is arguably the principal cultural encounter of our time.
