William Norman Brown (June 24, 1892 – April 22, 1975) was a distinguished Indologist and Sanskritist who established the first academic department of South Asian Studies in North America and organized the American Oriental Society in 1926.
 He was the Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Pennsylvania for most of his academic career.
 He was president of the Association for Asian Studies in 1960.
 He is considered the founder of the field of South Asian Studies, which he pioneered in his career over four decades at the University of Pennsylvania, where he helped to found the Department of Oriental Studies (1931), and later single-handedly founded the Department of South Asia Regional Studies (1948).
 These departments are now survived by the departments of East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and South Asia Studies.
 W. Norman Brown also founded the American Institute of Indian Studies, which was located in the Van Pelt Library at the University of Pennsylvania.

Victor B. Lieberman (born 22 July 1945) is an historian of early modern Southeast Asia and Eurasia.
 He presently serves as the Raoul Wallenberg Distinguished University Professor of History and Professor of Asian and Comparative History at the University of Michigan, where he began teaching in 1984.
 That year he published a seminal work, "Burmese Administrative Cycles: Anarchy and Conquest, c.1580-1760" (Princeton University Press), which profoundly impacted scholarship on mainland Southeast Asia through an analysis of alternating governance patterns in 16th- to 18th-century Burma.
 Totaling some 1500 pages, his more recent two-volume study "Strange Parallels: Southeast Asia in Global Context, c. 800-1830" (Cambridge University Press) argued that in terms of basic dynamics, chronology, and trajectory, patterns of political and cultural integration in mainland Southeast Asia over several centuries resembled those in much of Europe and Japan, and to a lesser extent, in China and South Asia.
 A lead featured review in "The American Historical Review" in 2012 (vol.
 117, no. 4) claimed that "Lieberman's two-volume magnum opus is the most important work of history produced so far this century."
 Two international conferences, in London and Osaka, have been held to discuss Lieberman's scholarship, and each of the two chief journals of Asian studies, "Modern Asian Studies" (1997) and "The Journal of Asian Studies" (2011), has devoted a special edition to his work.
 In 2014 he won the Golden Apple Award, conferred by student ballot, as the best teacher at the University of Michigan.
Yu Ying-shih (; born January 22, 1930) is a Chinese American historian and Sinologist known for his mastery of sources for Chinese history and philosophy, his ability to synthesize them on a wide range of topics, and for his advocacy for a new Confucianism.

New Asia Middle School () (NAMS) is an aided secondary school founded in 1973.
 It is located at Farm Road in Tokwawan.
 Its campus consists of four complexes : Block A with a library and the New Asia Institute inside, Block B, Block C and Block S (the Pillar).
 Heung Shu Fai (香樹輝), famous banker in Hong Kong, is the manager of the school.
 Also, Wat Kai Chau (屈啟秋) is the supervisor.
 In the 1970s, Yu Ying-shih (余英時), Chinese American historian known for his mastery of sources for Chinese history and philosophy, and Xun guo-dong (孫國棟), Chinese historian became committees of New Asia Middle School's Incorporated Management Committee.
 Purportedly, the school projects a bad image because of students' impolite behaviour.
 However, it has been trying hard to make improvements on the issue.
 As a result, it receives positive evaluation of polite behaviour from shop owners as well as the staff working in the vicinity.
Asian studies, a term used usually in North America for Oriental studies and is concerned with the Asian people, their cultures, languages, history and politics.
 Within the Asian sphere, Asian studies combines aspects of sociology, history, cultural anthropology and many other disciplines to study political, cultural and economic phenomena in Asian traditional and contemporary societies.
 Asian studies forms a field of post-graduate study in many universities.
Southeast Asian studies (SEAS) refers to research and education on the language, culture, and history of the different states and ethnic groups of Southeast Asia.
 Some institutions refer to this discipline as ASEAN Studies since most of the countries that they study belong to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN.
 Definitions of what constitutes Southeast Asia differ between scholars, which blurs the boundaries between Southeast Asian studies and other regional studies like Oriental studies and post-colonial studies.
 Southeast Asian studies incorporates anthropology, religious studies, linguistics, and international relations.
