Mission, Vision, Values

Mission

We, members of the East Asia Young Scholars Association (EAYSA), are a group of young scholars who are interested in studying issues in East Asia and beyond.

At EAYSA, our mission is to cultivate a dynamic platform where young scholars worldwide can engage rigorously in the exploration of East Asian affairs. Through rigorous academic inquiry and exchange, we aim to foster a vibrant community that promotes understanding, study, and critical analysis of various East Asian issues, including but not limited to their societies, histories, cultures, politics, and economies.

Vision

We aim to serve as a global nexus, connecting diverse perspectives and facilitating deep understandings of East Asia and other regions. By encouraging interdisciplinary approaches and intellectual dialogue, we seek to broaden perspectives and deepen insights into the complexities and nuances of various East Asian issues.

Values

We are committed to creating an inclusive and deliberative environment that encourages intellectual curiosity, respects diverse viewpoints, and promotes ethical scholarship. Therefore, central to our mission is the advocacy for academic freedom, freedom of expression, and diversity. 

Through these efforts, EAYSA strives to empower the next generation of scholars to contribute meaningfully to the promotion and understanding of East Asia on the world stage.
