In cooperation with the Association for Asian Studies, the Japanese Studies Association of Canada, and later the University of Hawaii, surveys were conducted for North America in 1989, 1995 and 2005. The results were published as multi-volume sets; Directory of Japanese Studies in the United States and Canada, which was published in three editions, Japanese Studies in the United States: the 1990s, Japanese Studies in Canada: the 1990s, and Japanese Studies in the United States and Canada: Continuities and Opportunities. In 2010, the Japan Foundation once again initiated a survey on the state of Japanese studies in the United States and Canada which would succeed the above surveys. With cooperation from the University of Hawaii again, the survey is now complete. Unlike the previous volumes, the survey results, data, and information are only available online. You may find them at http:// japandirectory.socialsciences.hawaii.edu/. Since the publication of the last survey, domestic and international circumstances in Japan have dramatically changed. In March 2011, northeastern Japan was devastated by the massive earthquake and tsunami disaster, while the financial crisis continues to put stress on the world’s economy. These changes should also have no little impact on scholars and institutions of Japanese studies. Therefore, we believe that this new survey, in the midst of such change in Japan as well as the world will provide not only a picture of the current state of Japanese studies but also as a marker or landmark for the future of Japanese studies. It is our hope that it will be useful in promoting collaborative efforts and networking among those who are engaged in activities related in Japan, not only in North America, but the rest of the world. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to Professor Patricia G. Steinhoff of the Univer- sity of Hawaii, whose devotion and diligence directed the entirety of this project. Our sincere thanks also go to Professor Julian Dierkes of the University of British Columbia for his con- stant cooperation and dedication to the project. We finally wish to acknowledge the Univer- sity of Hawaii for undertaking the planning, data-gathering, and compilation of this project.

The collection of this data largely follows the methodology of the data presented in the United States volume in that it relied on a combination of previously collected data, collabora- tion with established organizations that group specialists on Japan, as well as some additional detective work to locate additional program and specialists. The two central professional associations for Japan specialists in Canada are the U.S.- based Association for Asian Studies and the Japan Studies Association of Canada (JSAC). While the Canadian Asian Studies Association (CASA) also includes an East Asian Council for CASA members who focus on Japan among other countries in East Asia, JSAC’s estab- lishment in the late 1980s has made this the dominant professional association for Japan specialists in Canada. JSAC’s leadership under current president Ken Coates (University of Saskatchewan) actively cooperated with the data collection efforts for this volume. Invitations to participate were distributed widely to JSAC members. A second crucial institution of Japan studies that is focused exclusively on Canada is the Japan Foundation’s office in Toronto under the leadership of Mr. Masayuki Suzuki until 2011 and the leadership of Mr. Takashi Ishida since then. The offices of the Japan Foundation supported data collection through a comparison of their mailing lists with lists of Canadian participants to flag any institutions that might have been missed. Finally, the relatively smaller numbers of individuals and institutions in Canada made it possible for the editor to search for Japan-related pages on the webpages of Canadian institu- tions of higher education to ensure that as few institutions with Japan programs or specialists would be missed as possible. Of course, these efforts cannot be entirely comprehensive and the editor apologizes to any individuals or institutions that may have been missed. In addition to the institutions mentioned above, the greatest debt of gratitude that is owed for the existence of the Canada data is to Pat Steinhoff and her team at the University of Hawai‘i. Without their tireless efforts, this entire project and thus the existence of extensive information on Japan libraries, specialists and programs in Canada would not have been pos- sible. François Lachapelle, a graduate student in Sociology at the University of British Co- lumbia, was instrumental in making the data analysis of the Canadian information possible. vii Front Matter.indd 7 5/23/2013 8:27:17 PM Canadian volume.indb 8 4/13/2013 3:00:00 PM PART 1 The Current State of Japanese Studies in Canada Canadian volume.indb 9 4/13/2013 3:00:00 PM Canadian volume.indb 10 4/13/2013 3:00:00 PM The Big Picture for Japanese Studies in Canada The most noticeable feature of research on Japan in Canada is its overall stable presence and relative concentration at a few institutions. As in most population figures, the difference between the U.S. and Canada is one order of magnitude. This is reflected in the overall num- bers associated with research on Japan. While the field is significantly smaller over all in Canada, some of its central academic institutions are on par with U.S. institutions leading to a much greater concentration of library and human resources. The University of British Columbia thus hosts by far the largest number of Japan spe- cialists. This institution thus accounts for roughly 20 percent of the specialists throughout the country and is twice as large as even the next-largest institution. Such a concentration is, of course, unimaginable in the context of a generally larger field in the U.S. or elsewhere. Not coincidentally, even in a Canadian context, the two largest centres of Japan specialists are also among the three largest Canadian universities by enrolment numbers in general. They are located in the largest and third-largest metropolitan regions and are also among the inter- nationally most visible universities. Their library holdings are the most extensive within Canada and a comparison of these holdings to U.S. universities places them among the most visible centres of research on Japan for North America. The present survey indicates that these centres of concentration of research on Japan are stable in the resources that are dedicated to this research. While research on Japan thus initially appears concentrated in a small number of centres in Canada, the field is also represented all across the country. Japan specialists’ presence at roughly a third of all universities nationwide suggests that the field continues to be well-rep- resented as an academic specialization in Canada. The total number of specialists responding to the survey remains virtually unchanged from 2006 (156 now versus 159 in the last round). This stability in the overall number of specialists is important to note in light of the noticeable drop that the last version of this survey (2006) reported in comparing

After converting the lord’s retainers and burning the Buddhist temple, Vilela built a Christian church under the invocation of “Todos os Santos” (All Saints). This temple was erected near Bernardo Nagasaki Jinzaemon Sumikage’s residence, whose castle was set upon a promontory on the foot of which laid Nagasaki (literal translation of “long cape”)1. If by this time the Great Ship from Macao was frequenting the nearby harbours of Shiki and Fukuda, it seems plausible that since the late 1560’s Nagasaki was already thought as a commercial centre by the Portuguese due to local political instability. Nagasaki’s foundation dates from 1571, the exact year in which the Great Ship under the Captain-Major Tristão Vaz da Veiga sailed there for the first time.

  • Stalin's and Mao's Famines
    Stalin’s and Mao’s Famines: Similarities and Differences Andrea Graziosi National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes, Rome Abstract: This essay addresses the similarities and differences between the cluster of Soviet famines in 1931-33 and the great Chinese famine of 1958-1962. The similarities include: IdeoloGy; planninG; the dynamics of the famines; the relationship among harvest, state procurements and peasant behaviour; the role of local cadres; life and death in the villaGes; the situation in the cities vis-à-vis the countryside, and the production of an official lie for the outside world. Differences involve the followinG: Dekulakization; peasant resistance and anti-peasant mass violence; communes versus sovkhozes and kolkhozes; common mess halls; small peasant holdings; famine and nationality; mortality peaks; the role of the party and that of Mao versus Stalin’s; the way out of the crises, and the legacies of these two famines; memory; sources and historioGraphy. Keywords: Communism, Famines, Nationality, Despotism, Peasants he value of comparinG the Soviet famines with other famines, first and T foremost the Chinese famine resultinG from the Great Leap Forward (GLF), has been clear to me since the time I started comparinG the Soviet famines at least a decade ago (Graziosi 2009, 1-19). Yet the impulse to approach this comparison systematically came later, and I owe it to Lucien Bianco, who invited me to present my thouGhts on the matter in 2013.1 As I proceeded, the potential of this approach grew beyond my expectations. On the one hand, it enables us to better Grasp the characteristics of the Soviet (1931-33) and Chinese famines and their common features, shedding new light on both and on crucial questions such This essay is the oriGinal nucleus of “Stalin’s and Mao’s Political Famines: Similarities and Differences,” forthcoming in the Journal of Cold War Studies.

  • BC's Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions
    Made In B.C. – Volume II A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia B.C.’s Faith-Based Postsecondary Institutions Bob Cowin Douglas College April 2009 The little paper that keeps growing I had a great deal of fun in 2007 using some of my professional development time to assemble a short history of public postsecondary education in British Columbia. My colleagues’ interest in the topic was greater than I had anticipated, encouraging me to write a more comprehensive report than I had planned. Interest was such that I found myself leading a small session in the autumn of 2008 for the BC Council of Post Secondary Library Directors, a group that I enjoyed meeting. A few days after the session, the director from Trinity Western University, Ted Goshulak, sent me a couple of books about TWU. I was pleased to receive them because I already suspected that another faith-based institution, Regent College in Vancouver, was perhaps BC’s most remarkable postsecondary success. Would Trinity Western’s story be equally fascinating? The short answer was yes. Now I was hooked. I wanted to know the stories of the other faith-based institutions, how they developed and where they fit in the province’s current postsecondary landscape. In the ensuing months, I poked around as time permitted on websites, searched library databases and catalogues, spoke with people, and circulated drafts for review. A surprisingly rich set of historical information was available. I have drawn heavily on this documentation, summarizing it to focus on organizations rather than on people in leadership roles.

  • Kokugaku in Meiji-Period Japan: the Modern Transformation of ‘National Learning’ and the Formation of Scholarly Societies, by Michael Wachutka
    Kokugaku in Meiji-period Japan: The Modern Transformation of ‘National Learning’ and the Formation of Scholarly Societies, by Michael Wachutka. 著者 HANSEN Wilburn journal or Japan review : Journal of the International publication title Research Center for Japanese Studies volume 27 page range 248-249 year 2014-11-27 URL http://doi.org/10.15055/00007159 BOOK REVIEWS BOOK REVIEW Kokugaku in Meiji-period Japan: The Modern Transformation of ‘National Learning’ and the Formation of Scholarly Societies Michael Wachutka Global Oriental, 2013 xv + 307 pages. ISBN13 9789004235304; E-ISBN 9789004236332 Michael Wachutka’s monograph is the first in English dedicated to tracking and explaining the development of the kokugaku movement during the Meiji period. As Dr. Wachutka states, more often than not in Western academics the story of kokugaku ends just as modernity is said to begin, until new kokugaku arises in the writings of influential twentieth century scholars such as Yanagita Kunio and Orikuchi Shinobu. It is clearly important and necessary to explain this failure by omission of the academic community. Dr. Wachutka makes a case for the importance of his study based not only on the historical significance but also on the contemporary social relevance his results display. He makes another case for the importance of his work by highlighting his choice of the prosopographical method. He expresses the hope that a study based on collective biography can create the grounds for sound and meaningful generalization, while also preserving appreciation for the unique characteristics of the particular individuals for whom greater historical information is now readily available in English.
