Your academia

Just wondering what majors our members here are. Perhaps we can share talks and experiences of that too.

I just recently completed an undergraduate degree with a major in Modern History at Macquarie university, a very Eurocentric course but I was able to do a capstone on the Soviet economic system as a model for Chinese economic development.

I'm currently doing a postgrad in International Relations, and planning on transferring to Sydney University since they have a much better Asian oriented program.

Trying to get an electrical engineering degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Gonna graduate next semester if all goes to plan.

Interesting tread !

I made the "Staatsexamen" - a very special German government licensing examination that teachers have to pass to be allowed to work in their profession ... now I'm a teacher for CHemistry and Sports.

I am currently pursuing my first degree, a B.S. in Applied and Computational Mathematical Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA.

Started BSc in psych and stats... thinking about adding on a BA to that in English Writing for the lulz.

Finishing up a Political Science/Sociology double major at UC Berkeley. I might be able to get an minor in Asia Studies if I do the paper work, but w/e. Not surprisingly, my area specialty is China.

I'm very curious about your capstone. It sounds like a unique approach to understanding Chinese development.

I am a semi-retired Business Consultant. I have been a part-time lecturer for Bachelor & Master's Degree Courses for Australian Off-Campus programs (RMIT, Curtin Unis) in Singapore. I also had the opportunity of teaching for 2 Chinese Universities (Macau & Guanzhou-Sun Yat Sen) for 2 Semesters as a Visiting Lecturer in recent years. My specialisations include: Business Development, Asia-Pacific Business & Intercultural Negotiations, and have been doing this part-time/adjunct for 20 years. Currently, I am just curious & interested in Security & Defence matters specifically related to geopolitical & maritime affairs in the Asia-Pacific Region - Why? Because I am always a Navy guy at heart.
