Topical Course Description: This course immerses students in the cityscape of Tokyo, combining classroom study of key texts with field explorations. Students begin their study in the classroom, learning techniques and approaches to imagining a sense of place through writing and reading. In the second week of class, students apply what they’ve learned to guided “Walks” to three of Tokyo’s cultural treasures: Asakusa, the East Imperial Garden, and Ueno Park. For their term essay and project, students offer their own sense of Tokyo as experienced through our “Walks,” both in the imagined and experiential sense.
