Professor Theodore Hughes awarded Heyman Center Fellowship for 2018-2019

Professor Theodore Hughes, Director of the Center for Korean Research and Korean Foundation Professor of Korean Studies at Columbia University, has been awarded a Heyman Center Fellowship for the 2018-2019 academic year.

Funded by Office of the Executive Vice-President of the Arts and Sciences, this yearlong fellowship provides course relief, allowing scholars to work on proposed research projects and to participate in the Heyman Center Fellows Seminar. Comprising other faculty and dissertating graduate student fellows and chaired by Mark Mazower, the Seminar Director of the Heyman Center Fellows, this seminar provides the opportunity to present work-in-progress and foster discussion across fields and disciplines in other ways, creating opportunities for collaborative research and teaching in future semesters.

The EALAC Department hopes you join us in congratulating Professor Hughes on his tremendous achievement.

CONSORTIUM WORKSHOP AWARD – FUMIKO NAZIKIAN and JISUK PARK

Consortium Workshop Award – Fumiko Nazikian and Jisuk Park

This year’s winning proposal for a workshop funded by the Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning is titled “Working at the Intersection of Language and Culture in the Digital Age: Social Network Approaches (SNA) to the pedagogy of language teaching” and was submitted by Fumiko Nazikian, senior lecturer in Japanese language and Jisuk Park, lecturer in Japanese language, at Columbia University, New York.

The proposal outlined the pedagogical rationale on which SNA is grounded and put forward an argument in support of its instructional uses, particularly in light of the frameworks of global communities within which students operate, and the intercultural component of their engagement with global issues.

The workshop has been awarded 5,000$ and will take place at Columbia University during Fall 2018. In addition to workshop sessions that will allow instructors of all languages to discuss the incorporation of  SNA, the workshop will include a keynote address by Prof. Tohsaku of the University of California, San Diego.
