East Asian Studies (University of Toronto)

==History of the Department==
 	 
The University of Toronto has a long history of producing scholars who have deeply shaped the various fields that make up East Asian Studies. At the turn of the twentieth century, James Scarth Gale wrote one of the first English language histories of Korea and published foundational Korean grammars as well as translations of Korean literature. His papers are housed in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library today. In the early 1920s, Bishop William C. White began his missionary career in China where he soon became famous for the antiquities he amassed, a collection that eventually became the basis of the Royal Ontario Museum and the core of the Cheng Yu Tung East Asian library. In the 1930s, Herbert Norman began to publish new works on Japanese history that were to offer a radical challenge to many of the conventions and assumptions of his field.
The institutionalization of the study of East Asia at the University of Toronto built on these illustrious beginnings when Bishop White returned from China in 1934 to set up and curate the Far Eastern Collection at the Royal Ontario Museum, then part of the University of Toronto. The following year White became the first professor of Chinese studies, laying the foundation for the wartime establishment of a School of Chinese Studies in 1943. Nine students enrolled in the first year of this program. Shortly after the war, the School added Japanese and Indian studies, becoming the Department of East Asiatic Studies. By 1971, a separate Department of Sanskrit and Indian studies was established, allowing the formation of a Department of East Asian Studies that expanded its offerings on Japan and, by 1977, had added courses on Korea. Since then, the department has experienced tremendous growth, hiring faculty to build a rich program whose excellence lies in the interdisciplinary study of the East Asian humanities.
==Contributions and Resources==
Members of the department today contribute to interdisciplinary research and teaching throughout the university, holding joint appointments with the Philosophy Department, the History Department, the Department and Centre for the Study of Religion, the Centre for Comparative Literature, the Asian Institute and the Royal Ontario Museum. In addition, the department is a collaborating partner with the Book History and Print Culture program.
Students and faculty in the department are blessed with a rich array of resources to assist in their research. The Cheng Yu Tung East Asian Library, holding more than 500,000 volumes, is considered one of the major research collections in North America. The Asian Institute, housed in the Munk School of Global Affairs, offers a lively array of lectures, workshops and conferences each year. Last but not least, the department is located on the downtown campus of the University of Toronto, thus lying at the heart of one of North America's most cosmopolitan and exciting cities. With Chinatown to the south and Koreatown to the immediate west, there is no end of excellent cuisine to stimulate the mind and the senses.

English-Chinese Bilingual Program

The English-Chinese Bilingual Program provides the opportunity for any students within the Edmonton Public School system to learn both the English and Chinese languages and to share knowledge of the Chinese culture within the context of the Alberta curriculum.
This program is unique in North America, both because it is a complete continuum of studies from kindergarten to high school graduation, and it is accomplished all during regular school hours.
==A Brief History==
In 1982, an experimental English-Chinese language program was introduced at the kindergarten level in Edmonton Public Schools. The success of this initiative led to the formal establishment of the English-Chinese Bilingual Program in 1983. Each subsequent year led to the establishment of a higher grade (Grades 1 to 6).
The Chinese Language Arts component was approved by the Edmonton Public School Board in January 1989 to the Junior High level (Grades 7 to 9).
In February 1992, Senior High levels (Grades 10 to 12) satisfying International Baccalaureate (I.B.) standards for Mandarin were approved. The lead class graduated from high school in 1995.
From a start of 33 kindergarten students in 1982, the program has grown to around 1800 students (Kindergarten to Grade 12) today!

Evelyn Lau

Lau was born in Vancouver, British Columbia to Chinese-Canadian parents, who intended for her to eventually become a doctor. Her parents' ambitions for her were wholly irreconcilable with her own; consequently, her home and school lives were desperately unhappy. In 1986 she ran away from her unbearable existence as a pariah in school and tyrannized daughter at home.
Evelyn Lau began publishing poetry at the age of 12; her creative efforts helped her escape the pressure of home and school. In 1985, at age 14, Lau left home and spent the next several years living itinerantly in Vancouver as a homeless person, sleeping mainly in shelters, friends' homes and on the street and often supporting herself by selling her body to much older men.
Despite the chaos of her first two years' independence she submitted a great deal of poetry to journals and received some recognition. A diary she kept at the time was published in 1989 as Runaway: Diary of a Street Kid. The book was a critical and commercial success. Topics and individuals discussed in the book include some of Lau's various relationships with manipulative older men, the life and habits of a group of anarchists with whom she stayed immediately after leaving home, Lau's experiences with a couple from Boston who smuggled her into the United States, her abuse of various drugs, and her relationship with British Columbia's child support services. The film The Diary of Evelyn Lau (1993) starred Korean-Canadian actress Sandra Oh.
