Dear Colleagues,

So the flyer announcing the 14 $3000 fellowships for unpaid volunteer or internship work toward the common good, has been slightly modified, see the attached. Fast summary:  Students must find their own internship that contributes to the common good and the 230 hours they would need to complete, would be done subsequent to being accepted for the fellowship. The student could be majoring in any of our undergraduate programs and/or may not have decided on a major.

This is a terrific opportunity for someone who wants to explore nonprofit or making a contribution toward the common good, etc.  Sites could be in the arts, in hospitals, in political and/or government settings, in nonprofits, in school/college settings etc.  In the past, Katzen fellows have worked at a variety of sites including the ASPCA, God’s Love–We deliver, Social Assurity, March of Dimes, King’s County District Attorney’s Office, Global Potential, United Nations—various permanent missions, New York City Council, Aisecs and Girls Write Now—to name a few.

Students could conceivably work 35 hours a week in January and then back down to 14 hours a week when the new semester begins to bring the total number of hours to 230. Or they could commit to 14 to 35 hours a week to bring the total to 230.   Applications are on our website:  www.baruch.cuny.edu/careers or can be picked up at Starr Career Development Center, room 2-150.  Deadline is November 7^th.

Any questions please Email me at [email protected]    And make the subject heading:

This is a message from Rory S. Baskin from Ibaraki Christian University in Hitachi, Japan.

Greetings:

I am emailing from Ibaraki Christian University in Hitachi, Japan to ask for your assistance in informing interested students of our unpaid internship program. The program is now in its fourth year, and we have welcomed interns from all over North America. With the experience gained through the internship, eight out of nine of our former interns who applied to the JET Program have been accepted and another intern received a Fulbright Scholarship to study in India. We are also hoping to welcome future interns from colleges and universities in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the UK. The following is the basic information that we post with career centers, internship offices and international offices:

We are looking for students who are interested in doing an unpaid international internship related to teaching. Specifically, we are looking for interns to help undergraduate English majors in Japan improve their English. Interns will work with students in and outside of the classroom to help them academically and provide opportunities to practice English communication. Interns will also plan and create opportunities for students to use their English in nonacademic settings such as playing games, sports and other extracurricular activities.

Those interested in our program can visit 

http://www.gendaieigo.info/internship 

for more information including testimonials from past participants. Please note that the position is ongoing. We welcome all students at American, Australian, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand and United Kingdom colleges and universities irrespective of religious faith, culture and nationality.

While applications are welcome at all times, we are especially interested in applicants who would like to intern during our spring semester, between the months of April and July and our fall semester, which starts in late September and runs until the end of January. From this year, we are also changing our internship program to welcome interns for winter terms too. Interns are also welcome for a full academic year. Dates for internships are flexible and can be arranged depending on individual schedules.

We would appreciate it if you could inform any students who might be interested. If there is a specific person I should contact to have this emailed to interested students at your school, please contact me directly to avoid overloading anyone with multiple email messages. Thank you for your understanding and help. If there is any more information that I can provide for you, please feel free to contact me at anytime.

Lastly, I am attaching a flyer on our program. If it is possible to post or distribute the attachment to students who may be interested, we would appreciate it.

We look forward to hearing from you and your students.

Sincerely,

Rory S. Baskin

Andrea Gevurtz Arai (Affiliate Lecturer, Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Please join us on Thursday and welcome University of Washington’s Dr. Andrea Gevurtz Arai, who will give an interesting lecture entitled “The Strange Child: Education and the Psychology of Patriotism in Recessionary Japan.”

The Strange Child: Education and the Psychology of Patriotism in Recessionary Japan
Thursday 13 October, 6 PM
Kent Hall, Room 403, Columbia University
No registration required.

This lecture focuses on how the Japanese financial downturn of the 1990s gave rise to the powerful figures of “the strange child” and “the child problem.” Based on her recent book, Arai uncovers the critical conjunctures behind their forcefulness. She argues that these child discourses refocused concerns about precarious economic futures and provided rationale for neoliberal shifts in human capital development and national-cultural ideology. Arai shows how the young have been made the subjects and objects of dramatically altered life conditions of self-development, independence and patriotism. The talk concludes with examples from her multi-site, long term fieldwork and creative responses by members of the recessionary generation.

Andrea Gevurtz Arai received her Ph.D. in Anthropology (2004) from Columbia University. She teaches Japan and East Asia anthropology and society courses at the University of Washington. She is the author of The Strange Child: Education and the Psychology of Patriotism in Recessionary Japan (Stanford University Press, March, 2016); Co-editor of Spaces of Possibility: In, Between and Beyond Korea and Japan (University of Washington Press, Forthcoming, October, 2016) and Global Futures in East Asia (Stanford University Press, 2014).

All events are free and open to the public.

Sponsored by the Orient Finance Co. Endowment for the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture at Columbia University.
