East Asia Studies Center

[Anonymous]

IU is one of the universities offering a NCTA seminar this summer besides UC Boulder. This year I believe their focus is modern Japan. Like other Asian institutes, one of their goals is to give educators and the students we teach a more positive and modern perspective on their countries.
