Abstract | This article discusses the implications of the idea of Asia as method, a discursive strategy in Asian studies popularised by Kuan-Hsing Chen, in the context of Korean education. Chen has pointed to the one-way flow of knowledge into Asia from the West and has urged using 'Asia as method' in the production of post-colonial and anti-imperialist knowledge. The research interests of this article are twofold. First, I analyse 'Asia as method' as a strategy to de-universalise the West, particularly given the historical complexity in East Asia. I trace the historical context of the word 'Asia', beginning with the traditional Sino-centric period and continuing to the Japanese colonial occupation. Second, I explore the possibility of using 'Asia as method' in the sense that Chen proposes, particularly in the context of Korean education. This article examines the 'East Asian style of education' as a platform for discussion of the potential for constructing 'Asia as method' in educational studies. In conclusion, I argue that for Asia as method to be viable as a strategy for change, Asia itself must be conceived as an ongoing construction based on the inter-referencing of multiple histories and cultural imaginaries.
