Geschiedenis

Established in 2016 and hosted by the ULB’s Maison des Sciences Humaines (MSH), EASt shares its aim to highlight the importance of Humanities and Social Sciences and the necessity of their interdisciplinary cooperation when seeking to understand the world, past or present.
As an incubator for further research on East Asia at the ULB, EASt organizes guest lectures, inter-disciplinary teaching chairs, seminars and workshops on topics bound by a shared interest for one of the most dynamic regions in the world.
EASt, as a unique initiative within the Belgian French- speaking community located in the heart of Brussels, is ideally positioned to reach students, policy makers and the wider community of informed citizens in Brussels engaged with East Asia.
Rooted in both original research and teaching, EASt’s current projects focus mainly, but not exclusively, on East Asian Youth’s Changing Values and Social Norms; Occupation and Use of Public Space in East Asia; Production and Circulation of Knowledge in East Asia.
