CURRICULUM
HONOLULU, HAWAII MAY 20 - JUNE 8, 2007
Application deadline: February 1
The Japan Studies Association, with a generous grant from the Freeman
Foundation, will conduct a 3 week intensive workshop on Japan for faculty
and
administrators from two and four-year colleges and universities. The
workshop
is for individuals who have little or no prior academic background on Japan
and who wish to begin incorporating Japan Studies into their courses. The
program is open to faculty in the humanities, social sciences, business or
education. Administrators and librarians are also eligible to apply.
The workshop will cover a wide variety of topics relating to Japan,
including
history, politics, literature, business, and the arts. Its primary purpose
is
to introduce faculty/ administrators into all aspects of Japanese society so
that they can return to their institutions and begin incorporating Japan
Studies into their courses. It will will have multiple instructors,
primarily
drawn from the University of Hawaii, but also including noted scholars from
other universities.
The workshop will be held at Tokai University in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tokai is
located about a ten- minute walk from Waikiki. Participants will be expected
to arrive at Tokai on Sunday, May 20th by 6:00 PM for opening ceremonies.
The
obligatory closing banquet is Friday evening, June 8th 2006. One must check
out of Tokai by Sunday, June 10th, unless other arrangements are made with
the
Tokai staff. Due to the intensive nature of the program, participants are
not
allowed to bring spouses or domestic partners.
There will be only 20 participants selected for the Freeman Fellowships.
Each
participant will receive up to $600 to cover roundtrip airfare to Hawaii.
Single rooms, some meals and a stipend will be provided. Each college or
university is required to pay a $500 Program Fee for its participant. This
fee
must be paid by May 1st. Completed applications are due electronically by
February 1st. Successful candidates will be notified by February 15th.
