...vital intellectual pursuit. This eye towards globalization has helped shape a proposal of general education that emphasizes world cultures and interdisciplinary study. In light of this focus, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) should begin to address what has become one of its most serious deficiencies: the study of South Asia. The study of modern South Asia—its politics, economics, culture, and history—has become a profoundly important academic endeavor, especially in light of the region’s growing influence in the international arena.
