With generous support from the Japan-united States Friendship Commission, the Organization of American Historians (OAH) and the Japanese Association for American Studies (JAAS), we will send two American scholars to Japanese universities for two-week residency (居住). There, in English, the American historians give lectures and seminars (研討會) in their specialty and provide individual consultation (咨詢) to Japanese scholars, graduate and sometimes visitors also participate in the collegial life of their host institutions and help expand scholarly networks between Japan and the U.S. The aim of the program is to contribute to the expansion of personal scholarly networks between the two countries. We are pleased to announce the eleventh year of the competition.
Round-trip airfare to Japan, housing, and modest daily expenses are covered. Awardees are also encouraged to explore Japan before or after their two-week residency at their own expense. Applicants must be members of OAH, have a Ph.D., and be scholars of American history. Applicants from previous competitions are welcome to apply again. Winners of the competition are expected to attend the 2007 OAH annual meeting in Minneapolis, so that they can meet with visiting Japanese scholars and graduate students as well as the OAH-JAAS Historians’ Collaborative (合作的) Committee.
The two host institutions Japan for 2007 are:
Nanzan University From modest beginnings as a college of foreign languages in 1946, Nanzan has since grown into a full-fledged (完全有有資格的) university with a worldwide reputation for academic excellence. Applicant’s area of specialty: Modern American History with an emphasis on race, ethnicity and labor.
Tokyo woman’s Christian University Founded in 1910, Woman’s University has established a nation wide reputation for its high level of academic instruction. Applicant’s area of specialty: U.S. Woman’s History.
