Description (no more than 300 words)
The Japan Studies Institute (JSI) is a multidisciplinary, national faculty development institute that has been in existence for nearly 15 years and has provided more than 200 scholars from AASCU institutions the opportunity to immerse themselves in Japanese studies with the goal of incorporating these learnings into their curriculums. In more recent years, alumni of this program and faculty from other AASCU institutions have benefitted from the Japan Outreach Initiative (JOI), which provides capacity-building support by assigning Japanese scholars or professionals to institutions to assist with the development or expansion of Japan-related offerings on U.S. campuses. Join this session to learn about the upcoming JSI application cycle, hear the experiences of JSI alumni, and explore how this program and the subsequent relationship with the JOI program have impacted scholars’ classrooms, campuses, and communities.
