The Embodied Learning About Asia Program creates opportunities for students and communities to learn about Asia through immersive involvement and direct participation. Grants support the invitation of an experienced practitioner of an Asian art or cultural practice to ASIANetwork campuses for a period of residency. Participants from the host campus community enhance their knowledge about Asia in a way that goes beyond reading texts, listening to lectures, or viewing demonstrations. The program emphasizes performative, first-person experience facilitated by the visiting resident(s) along with self-reflection, dialogue and mentoring.
