“The Legacies of Donald Keene” Symposium

This semester, Shincho Professor Emeritus Donald Keene teaches his last class at Columbia University. We invite you to join us in celebrating over fifty years of Professor Keene’s contributions to Japanese Studies.

Through the generous support of the Japan Foundation, a symposium on “The Legacies of Donald Keene” will be held on April 15th. Speakers include Karen Brazell, Van Gessel, Carol Gluck, Amy Heinrich, Susan Matisoff, and Carolyn Morley, all of whose distinguished careers in the Japanese Studies field began in one of Professor Keene’s classrooms. Drawing on personal experiences, the speakers will address Professor Keene’s unique pedagogy and long-term contributions to the field of Japanese Studies.

This symposium is free and open to the general public. We recommend arriving early in order to secure a seat.
