In a collaboration between the SAAHP, the Feinstein College of Arts and Sciences and the Spiegel Center for Global and International Programs, twelve Roger Williams students led by Professor Rebecca Leuchak and Assistant Professor Jordan A. Yamaji Smith undertook a two-course, six credit Summer 2012 study abroad program exploring the Arts, Architecture, and Literature of Japan. Students enrolled in AAH 430/530 Arts and Architecture of Japan, and Hum/Eng 320 Japanese Literature and Aesthetics: Classical to Modern Times. The courses focused on a transdisciplinary, coordinated study of Japanese arts and literature, through several days of study on the Roger Williams campus, followed by two weeks of travel in Japan.
