Jackson School of International Studies.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on her own educational experience and on the generosity of others, Dean was inspired to make a lasting gift after attending the celebration for retiring professor Kenneth B. Pyle, whom she had as a teacher in the 1970s (and whose class she is auditing this quarter). A believer in the power of education to give people the opportunity to raise themselves and make the world a better place, Dean said of her contribution that it isn\u2019t about her, and in fact she is careful not to draw attention to herself. \u201cIt\u2019s about creating world citizens. I want to pay it forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Dean established a fund for UW Tacoma Milgard School of Business in honor of her late husband, Jeffrey Dean, who taught at the school for 16 years instructing undergraduates and MBA students in business, law, and entrepreneurship. Because of Jeffrey Dean, Kristen qualified for the Faculty, Staff, Retiree (FSR) match as part of the current UW campaign, making her gift stretch even further. The Japan fund will provide an annual sum of $3,000 to Japan graduate students next fall.<\/p>\n<p>An American of Japanese ancestry, Dean followed her heart in graduate studies, which led her to study in Japan. \u201cOne is not handicapped by knowing another language and culture and being more internationally minded. It\u2019s knowledge needed today. Promoting international thinking, and people becoming conversant in another culture and language is important. Japan is important.\u201d \u00a0She continues to travel and has covered much of the globe, visiting other cultures, countries, and people with no plans of stopping. Next year she will be in Tanzania, India, and possibly Cuba.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m no Bill Gates or Paul Allen, but my hope is that others will see this contribution and also be inspired to give. No gift is too small. But giving something is important,\u201d said Dean, noting that funding for students in International studies, and soft sciences in general, has diminished even as tuitions have increased.<\/p>\n<p>Contributions to this fund and others can be made by visiting the UW Giving page (search for \u201cKawakami Dean\u201d). The UW Japan Studies Program is grateful to the many people whose support of our program enables students to pursue academic and career goals, and for a program of community outreach which includes teacher training and public educational events.

Metzler joins the program as a professor with a joint appointment in the Department of History and in the Jackson School. Metzler earned his BA in international relations from Stanford University, his MA in comparative social history from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and his PhD in history (East Asia\/Japan) from the University of California, Berkeley. He is currently a professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n<p>Metzler first became interested in Japan in the 1980s, when he was working at Apple Computer\u2019s Macintosh Division. Apple offered conversational Japanese classes to employees, and he jumped at the chance to learn. These classes sparked his deep interest in Japan and eventually led him back to graduate school in 1989. His MA thesis on economic boom-and-bust cycles over the long run of Japanese history was completed in 1989, just as the Japanese bubble was reaching its height, and in one way or another he has been working on this topic ever since.<\/p>\n<p>He is currently completing a global history of deflation and depression in the world of the late nineteenth century. He is also working on a study of Japan\u2019s post-bubble deflation in a long historical perspective, reaching back to the Tokugawa period. His most recent book is the coauthored <em>Central Banks and Gold: How Tokyo, London, and New York Shaped the Modern World<\/em> and will be released in December 2016 by Cornell University Press.<\/p>\n<p>Although Metzler begins teaching at the UW in autumn quarter 2017, and is looking forward to teaching UW students on the history of Japan, Japanese political economy, and the history of globalization, he will make his UW faculty debut as the featured speaker for the <strong>Griffith and Patricia Way Lecture <\/strong>on <strong>April 3, 2017<\/strong>, at <strong>7 PM <\/strong>when he will present on Japan\u2019s post-bubble deflation.
