ANNOUNCING: Summer Program on Japanese Visual
Culture in Tokyo

For the sixth consecutive year, an exciting
six-week Summer Program on Japanese Visual Culture
will take place at the Tokyo Campus of Temple
University Japan (TUJ), May 18 ? June 29, 2009
(tentative dates).  This program consists of two
coordinated courses: the first focuses on
approaches to studying the richness and complexity
of visual culture in Japan; the second allows
students to develop modest visual projects
(digital still, video or web) on selective topics
immediately relevant to visual culture. 
Instruction is in English.  All course work will
be supplemented with an active program of cultural
events, trips and lectures in and around Tokyo. 
Students live in Temple dormitories alongside
Japanese students studying English at TUJ.  This
program grants course credits to both
undergraduate and graduate students.
