Language Learning Research Center (LLRC)
The Language Learning Research Center (LLRC) is where technical support is available
for the teaching and learning of language, literature, and culture at Stony Brook
University. One of the missions of the LLRC is to initiate innovative pedagogy enhanced
by technology and facilitate cross-Departmental collaboration involving language learning
and teaching.
Department of Asian & Asian American Studies
Established in 2002, the Department of Asian & Asian American Studies is one of the
few departments in the U.S. that integrates the study and teaching of both Asian and
Asian American studies. It offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that highlights
the history of New York as the home of Asian immigrants since the 19th century and
recognizes the importance of the Asia-Pacific in this present century.
The Japan Center at Stony Brook
The Japan Center at Stony Brook was established in January 2003 with the mission of
creating a bridge between the university and the local community and promoting education
and research in the study of Japan, Japanese culture and society, and the lives of
both Japanese and Japanese- Americans
Bishembarnath & Sheela Mattoo Center for India Studies
The Center for India Studies' mission is to promote a better appreciation of Indian
thought, culture, civilization and contemporary issues by developing expertise and
resources for studying India for the benefit of the University and the community.
The Center aims to give Indian thought and culture its rightful place in schools,
universities, public libraries, museums, media, and civic forums.
Department of Linguistics
The Stony Brook Linguistics Department is a leading center for research and training
in all areas of modern linguistics. The department has a long-standing focus on theoretical
linguistics, with core research areas including phonetics, phonology, morphology,
syntax, semantics and first and second language acquisition. Recently, we have introduced
two new Experimental Linguistics laboratories supplementing our existing laboratories
in Semantics and Phonetics, and we have developed new specializations in Speech and
Language Pathology for undergraduates and Computational Linguistics for graduate students.
Latin American & Caribbean Studies Center
The LACS (Latin American and Caribbean Studies) Center at SUNY-Stony Brook serves
to enhance and focus the interests of students, faculty, graduate students and the
larger New York regional community concerned with Latin American and Latino issues.
