Harvard Summer School in Kyoto, June 2-July 27, 2013
************************************************************************
From: Johnson, Hilary <hjohnson@fas.harvard.edu>

Dear prospective participants,

I am writing to invite you to take part in Harvard Summer School's 8-week
program at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan. Students enroll in 2
courses: Professor Mikael Adolphson's course, "Japan: Tradition and
Transformation," which explores the nation's tumultuous move to modernity.
Professor James Robson's course, "Introduction to the Study of East Asian
Religions," covers the development and history of Buddhism, Daoism,
Confucianism, Shinto, and various forms of popular religion in a
cross-cultural setting. Students reside with local families where they
have the best chance to experience the Japanese way of life. In addition,
a myriad of field trips coincide seamlessly with coursework, linking the
classroom with the surrounding city. Non-credit Japanese language
instruction with Doshisha staff is provided for students with no previous
exposure to the Japanese language.
