Historical NoteReturn to Top
The history of the University of Washington's interest in South Asia, its languages, history and peoples dates back to 1909 with the appointment of Reverend Herbert H. Gowen as the chair of the Department of Oriental Subjects. Throughout the years it expanded to research and teaching about India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, and Afghanistan. After WWII the Departments became the Far Eastern and Russian Institute. There was no formal South Asia program, although a South Asian Studies Committee was in place in the College of Arts and Sciences. In 1971 Karl Potter spearheaded the application for grants to the US Department of Education to create a South Asia Center at the University of Washington. In 1972 the first federally funded Center for the study of South Asia at the University of Washington was established. In 1978 the Institute was renamed the School of International Studies, and in 1983, changed its name to the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies.
