Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Faculty Research Areas

In their research and teaching, the department faculty concentrate in three regional areas--China, Japan, and Korea--and three basic intellectual disciplines--literature, linguistics, and language pedagogy. Crossing over the boundaries of these areas of study and disciplines, however, are clusters of intellectual commonality among the faculty that give DEALL a distinct identity as an East Asian Languages and Literatures department. These areas are: Early Text, Folklore and Popular Culture, Language Pedagogy, Linguistics, Modern Culture Studies, Performance, Poetry, Print Culture and Media Studies.
