OnEast
UofT – EASSU’s Undergraduate Journal.
What is OnEast?
OnEast is the undergraduate journal of the East Asian Studies Student Union (EASSU) at the University of Toronto. After a 6 year long hiatus, the EASSU executive team for 2026–2027 is proud to announce the revival of the journal. We invite undergraduate students from all disciplines with an interest in East Asia to submit their work for consideration. The journal will showcase original research, literary works, critical essays, and thoughtful commentary. In doing so, we hope to foster a vibrant academic community that encourages students to engage deeply with the region and contribute to ongoing scholarly conversations.
About Us
The East Asian Studies Students’ Union (EASSU) is an active student body dedicated to the undergraduate students of the Department of East Asian Studies. We are not only a liaison between students and the department but also we are here to make your learning experience more enjoyable and fulfilling. Throughout the year, we hold both academic and social events that relate to the East Asian cultures. If you are interested in helping out with events or would like to participate in an event, please contact us. Get involved and make your university experience the best it can be.
