The purpose of this publication, which is experimental in nature, is to identify important innovations in undergraduate study of Asian and African societies, traditions specifically and the Third World somewhat more generally, and to encourage more interest and dialogue in the imaginative study of the Third World. The publication is arranged into two major parts. The first part provides commentaries and speculation on the study of the Third World, pointing out some of the unexploited opportunities for innovation. Innovative approaches and some illustrations for studying the Third World are offered in the second major part. Innovations described include computer assisted instruction, simulations and games, audio-visual media, different kinds of roles which faculty members can paly, using students as teachers and architects, different approaches to language-learning, and using the world as a classroom in overseas study programs.
