2016 JSA Freeman Foundation Summer Institute
May 22 - June 10, 2016
The Japan Studies Association, with a generous grant from the Freeman Foundation, will conduct a three-week intensive workshop on Japan for faculty and administrators from U.S. 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 teaching and research.
The workshop will have multiple instructors, primarily drawn from the University of Hawai'i, Center for Japanese Studies but also including noted scholars from other universities.
The workshop will be held at the University of Hawai'i, Manoa campus (UHM) in Honolulu, Hawai'i. It is located a short distance from Waikiki. Participants will be expected to arrive at UHM on Sunday, May 22nd by 6:00pm for opening ceremonies. The obligatory closing banquet is Friday evening, June 10th. One must check out of UH housing on Saturday, June 11th, unless other arrangements are made. Due to the intensive nature of the program, participants are not allowed to bring spouses, domestic partners nor dependents.
There will be only 12 participants selected for the Freeman Fellowships. Each participant will receive up to $500 to help cover roundtrip airfare to Hawai'i. Single rooms, some meals and a small stipend will be provided.
Each college or university is required to pay a $650 Program Fee for its participant. This fee must be paid by May 2nd, 2016.
The deadline had been extended!
Completed applications are now due by April 11th, 2016.
Successful candidates will be notified shortly afterwards.
