Join David Goldstein, Teaching Professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, to learn about studying abroad in Japan during Spring Break 2023. Ehime Prefecture--like Western Washington--is home to a unique culture that also has countless connections to the rest of the world. In fact, the founder of the largest Japanese food and goods stores in the U.S.--Uwajimaya in Seattle and Bellevue--was from Ehime. By studying the local history, economy, and culture of this vibrant prefecture, in partnership with Ehime University, we will explore how regions with unique local culture also exemplify a global economy and culture. The Japan: "Glocal" Studies- Ehime Prefecture in National and Global Contexts program is open to all UW students and does not require Japanese language proficiency. Apply by Nov. 1. |
