From The Director The other day, standing at the glass door leading onto the porch, I gazed absentmindedly into our backyard. I had stood there many times before, catching the humdrum surprises of the miniature landscape, pausing to feel the ordinary heartbeat of a patch of green amidst bricks, pavement, and wood: the arc of the mulberry tree large enough to stand out on Google Earth, the ebb and flow of OSU hostas, cone flowers, and mums, the cat chasing the squirrels, each day another chance to test each other’s agility and speed, the sound of the

Patricia Sieber, Ph.D. neighbors’ voices, seen and unseen. Director, East Asian Studies Center But that day, I suddenly gasped breathlessly, startled by the sheer magnitude of the spectacle before me: two giant stalks of bamboo—each over an inch in diameter and at least six feet tall—thrust themselves upward in neatly defined increments of glassy green. I laughed, as through I was some Alice at the entryway to some wonderland. Bamboo? As I surveyed the yard more carefully, I realized that there were six stalks of varying sizes that had sprouted—seemingly overnight--in different parts of the peony plot. To be sure, there was the bamboo growing in the neighbor’s yard. They had planted it many years exp ago. A disheveled clump of stalks, it was four feet in height with wispy leaves, hovering, or so it seemed, at the margins of its climatic comfort zone, barely hanging on against the ever wilder fluctuations of the mid- continental weather. And now this? Even though commonsense was quick to remind me that bamboo is an invasive species, could I really have anticipated the grace, power and beauty of these new stalks? I thought of the rhyzomes, sent traveling underground, burrowing through the stony soil, pushing further with unsteady prospects. And then changing course abruptly, skyward, bursting forth at what one might call the “speed of bamboo light,” suddenly visible, a fact of nature, a gift of time. Now amidst the din of news both startling and stale, I watch the bamboo unsheathe itself, shedding its husks one branch at a time, unfolding its crisp leaves into the summer light. It sways in the evening breeze, a whisper, barely audible. Who knows whose dead are chiming in? No talk here of economics, business, transactions, deals, risk assessments, and rationalism. No. This is not the sound of any bottom line. This is the sheer wonder of it. Resilience. Trial and error. The promise of probing. The art of going beyond. Science. Art. Education. Language. The tender shoots of words from another time and place. As Su Shi observed some time ago: “Who can fathom this uncanny power?”

Teacher in-service day program piloted with Westerville City Schools

On May 3, the East Asian Studies Center piloted a new program, aimed at bringing East Asian content to in-service day programs in Ohio school districts. Partnering with Westerville City Schools, EASC staff coordinated the event and presented on resources for the teaching of East Asia to a group of middle and high school teachers. This presentation was followed by a talk by Dr. Heather Inwood, assistant professor of East Asian languages and literatures at The Ohio State University, titled “The Top Ten Things You Need to Know About East Asia.” At the

EASC conclusion of the program, teachers were presented with curricular units targeting state of Ohio standards purchased from the Stanford Program on International and Cross-cultural Education (SPICE), which offers teaching resources and 12 materials for a K-14 audience on international themes.
