| Project Cost Total | $306.470* |
| JF Grant Total | $237,050* |
| Outline | This project aims to foster a truly multidimensional and dynamic understanding of the Asian region by developing an enhanced “inter-area” approach to the study of Japan. Fundamental to this project are short-term, as well as semester-long, visitations by graduate students and faculty from institutions in Southeast Asia. Additionally, an annual-based workshop series devoted to the theme, “Multidimensionalizing Japanese Studies” will serve as a forum for intellectual exchange and the incubation of collaborative projects in the Japanese Studies field between Southeast Asia, Japanese, and Hawaii-based scholars. An edited volume based on the workshops and exchange experiences will conclude the three-year project. |
