Featured Event

Images as Tools
A Workshop on Teaching about Japan

8:45 am - 3:15 pm
Saturday, October 31, 2009
University of Washington, Seattle campus

Students have images of Japan that range from samurai to anime characters, but many of those images have little relationship to the reality of contemporary Japan. Spend a fun and informative Saturday at the University of Washington Seattle campus exploring those images and ways they can be used as tools for teaching about Japan in many different K-14 subject areas. The keynote speaker is Professor Paul Dunscomb from the University of Alaska, Anchorage.

Sponsored by the East Asia Resource Center, this October 31 program takes place on the UW Seattle campus from 8:45 to 3:15. The $50 registration fee covers sessions, resource materials, lunch, and six clock hours. Some travel assistance is available thanks to grants from the Freeman Foundation and the Northeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies. Registration is now closed.
