ASN 252 Nagasaki: Rebuilding a Metropolis
Students will, within the larger context of experiential learning, acquire a basic understanding of modern Japanese history (1600-2000) and Japan’s relationship with the international community through trade, cuisine, religion, and war during this period. They will hear firsthand the personal testimonies and stories of survivors of the atomic bomb, descendants of “hidden” Christians, and current international residents. Visits to related historic and cultural heritage sites will provide physical context and opportunities for interpreting readings done prior to departure.
