For three weeks Daryl Phillipy will immerse himself in Japanese studies as a fellow participating in the National Faculty Development Institute\u2019s \u201cIncorporating Japanese Studies into the Undergraduate Curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n
Phillipy, assistant professor of theater and acting and directing at Southern Arkansas University, Magnolia, will spend part of his summer on the campus of San Diego State University to learn from scholars, business leaders, artists, and journalists about Japanese civilization, history, language, business, and education.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a privilege to receive this fellowship,\u201d said Phillipy. \u201cIt should be an interesting three weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n
The objectives of the summer institute are to familiarize professors with modern Japan through lectures, readings, discussions, and films; to introduce a range of approaches and methodologies to the teaching of modern Japan; and to enable participants to identify as full a range of Japan-related resources as possible for development of stimulating and engaging curricula at home universities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a good opportunity for me, the Theatre Department, and the University,\u201d said Phillipy.<\/p>\n
The program is multi-disciplinary in content and designed for faculty without prior experience in Japanese studies who wish to incorporate information about Japan into the courses they teach.<\/p>\n
Prior to participating in the summer institute, Phillipy will be required to read two books. They are \u201cNew Times in Modern Japan\u201d by Stefan Tanaka and \u201cRe-Inventing Japan: Time, Space Nation\u201d by Tessa Morris-Suzuki.<\/p>\n
Phillipy will have an opportunity to visit the Japanese-American National Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles and the Japanese Gardens and the Mingei Museum in Balboa Park in San Diego.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look forward to bringing back a different view and introducing it in our classes and to our students,\u201d said Phillipy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
