The Japan Studies Association will offer a faculty development workshop in Japan between June 28 and July 5, 2015. Our theme is "Remembering Hiroshima-Nagasaki 1945-2015." The workshop will include four days in Hiroshima and three days in Nagasaki. Participants will visit memorial sites and museums as well as learn from researchers, faculty, journalists and activists who work in both cities on issues related to the Asia-Pacific War, the atomic bombings, the search for peace, and current concerns about the environment in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Due dates for applications and reference letters: 17 March 2015.
Further details:
Participants should arrive in Hiroshima by the evening of June 28, 2015. The Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation has made both single and twin hotel rooms available at the nightly rate per person of ¥5,940 without breakfast (currently $49.59) or ¥7,128 with breakfast (currently $59.58). Wifi is available free of charge.
The program begins on Monday, June 29, 2015 at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Monday and Tuesday mornings will feature lectures with speakers from the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation and the Hiroshima Peace Institute, followed by discussion. Participants will take part in round-table presentations and discussion on the impact of over 70 years of writings, such as John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Ibuse Masuji’s Black Rain (and its film adaptation), among others. We will also visit the Peace Museum, Peace Park, and have three additional options for half-day excursions: The Hiroshima City University, The Radiation Effects Research Foundation, and the island of Miyajima.
Travel to and within Nagasaki will be led by Associate Professor Lonny Carlile, Asian Studies Program and Center for Japanese Studies, University of Hawai’i at Manoa. Travel to Nagasaki will occur on July 2, followed by a Study Tour on July 2-4, 2015.
Four $650 stipends are available for selected Hiroshima-Nagasaki participants upon receipt of a course module by November 15, 2015, courtesy of the University of Kansas Center for East Asian Studies. Community college faculty will have priority for these stipends.
JSA has also applied for additional travel support to the Sasakawa Foundation and to the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership Discretionary Fund.
Until we hear about external funding, a limited number of applicants who are able to attend without a subsidy will be accepted on a rolling basis beginning in late February. We will reserve fifteen spots for additional applications after we learn about outside funding. Our plan is to select a total of 30 participants by the end of April 2015.
