Overview

In this online seminar, K-12 Educators will learn about various forms of Japanese literature, including seminal works like The Tale of Genji. Discussions will be held with Professor Lynne Miyake of Pomona College, and the seminar aids K-12 educators to incorporate these learnings into their curriculums.
