“3/11 as Crisis and Opportunity”
Teaching 3.11 Issues, Materials, Pedagogy and Research
June 29, 2012 (Friday)
Sophia University, Yotsuya Campus Library Building, level 9, room 921
http://www.fla.sophia.ac.jp/
The event is in English and Japanese
Free and open to all
More than a year after the triple disaster of March 2011, we have assembled
some of the most active and insightful scholars and activists working on
3.11 from a range of disciplines and perspectives to offer their responses
to the questions:
--What should we be teaching about 3.11?
--How can we teach it effectively?
For this workshop, each presenter has selected the most relevant materials
on 3.11 from their areas and contextualized them in a full syllabus. We
organized presenters into thematic panels to collectively identify key
issues and resources, to share pedagogical approaches and anticipate the
sorts of research that these syllabi can generate.
