<p>Is there any graduate programs that exist in this field? My undergrad school (University of Washington) had one until the late James Palais retired.</p>
<p>Or am I just doomed?</p>
<p>Harvard has the best I think, and U of Chicago might also have a program, as Bruce Cumings is there I think. I know Penn also offers several courses in the subject, I've taken one or two as an undergrad, not sure if there is a coherent program though.</p>
<p>here's a link I found:

<p>I have a friend in the field. I will send you a private message with his email address. Tell him I referred you and ask him directly.</p>
<p>If you're willing to leave America, there is always the University of London, SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies). In that particular field, it's up there with Harvard and such.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it seems like most of those schools don't have a graduate program. </p>
<p>So far I've got:</p>
<p>U. of Chicago (maybe. I can't tell if its a full blown field or not)
University of Hawaii
UCLA (Though it seems pretty limited)
Columbia</p>
<p>I'm e-mailing Prof. X's source to get more info.</p>
