Super proud that my article "The Multilingual Tapestry of King Alfred Fanfiction" was published in Etudes Médiévales Anglaises (ÉMA, ISSN : 0240-8805). 🥳

It's the first scholarly paper for which I translated from several Asian languages, so a personal milestone. With many thanks to my friends from @japanfans and the Japans Cultureel Centrum Utrecht for their help. You make me happy. 🥰

The talk will be in Japanese and discussion in English, Q&A in the mixture of both.

William & Mary is looking for a new Assistant Prof. in Hispanic Studies!!! (I'm an alumna and love the program! I am so indebted to them in my development as a person/scholar)
From posting: We are interested in individuals with research and teaching expertise in the Spanish-speaking world with a focus on Afro/Asian diaspora or the Hispanic Global South (e.g., Diaspora Studies, Africana Studies, or Asian/Asia-Pacific Studies) covering any period between the 19th and 21st centuries, and who foreground the nexus of literary & cultural studies, race, and intersectionality."

I never made an #introduction post so here goes!

I’m Daniel! I’m a gay cisgender male, and I use he/him/his. I’m finishing up a bachelor’s degree, with two majors in #asianstudies and #japanese #linguistics! In the fall, I will start working on my master’s degree in Japanese studies! In my spare time, I make music with #synths and #DJ! I also enjoy #anime and #videogames (JRPGs typically) ~ 💖✨

What a treat! Packed room for Peter Kornicki in Leuven. The talk was absolutely great. And Japanese studies students rock. One after another asking well-informed excellent questions. We need to get this spirit back into Chinese or East Asian Studies more broadly. #manuscripts #AsianStudies

I've been to the EastWind many times and always found it a valuable resource. It's a shame it's closing but I'm glad to hear they will still have an online presence.

Hi, I’m exploring #Daoism (esp. Maoshan Shangqing & Qingwei schools) and curious about all areas where it provides context and meanings, with a particular interest in the popular imagery, #folklore and #MartialArts (esp. #sword aka #jian). My #AsianStudies scope covers #Chinese #history from Shang to Qing. The #myth creation and deconstruction are both fascinating.
Mongolian and Korean #shamanism (from #anthropology perspective) are also welcome.

1/2: Global Faculty Development might sound like a slogan or exaggeration of international outreach, but I learned from having such a position at Kansai University in Osaka from 2016-2020 that Global FD can have a specific and practical definition in a suitable context. Basically, Global FD means meeting the needs of non-native English-using faculty members in non-Western countries. Specific guidance could involve preparing teachers for English-medium (or other international language) instruction (particularly to classes with international students), giving presentations at international conferences, publishing journal papers, and other scholarly
tasks. Research findings: "Meeting Global Faculty Development Needs in Japan" at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330778631 or https://www.academia.edu/38264974
