Description
The Visiting Faculty Fellowships from the Associated Kyoto Program (AKP) offer faculty members the opportunity to teach a semester-long course in English and pursue research at the AKP Center in Kyoto, Japan. The program is designed to enrich the undergraduate study abroad experience by providing high-quality, Japan-focused or comparative courses, and to strengthen Japanese studies at both AKP and the fellow’s home institution. Fellows are expected to incorporate the Kansai region (Kyoto-Nara-Osaka-Kobe) into their teaching where possible and to engage in a research or study project that supports their professional development.
