Trinity Faculty or Administrators with full-time appointments on a continuing basis, who have a genuine interest in Japan, but are not Japan specialists, and who have had little or no previous exposure to Japan, are eligible to apply.  Our goal for this opportunity is to help promote and enrich the presence of Japanese Studies at Trinity College.  It is expected that the successful applicant will enhance the presence of Japanese Studies at Trinity in some way in the year following the trip. In the past, the trip experiences resulted in a photo exhibit, a public lecture and a website, all focusing on some aspect of Japanese society and culture.  There may be many other creative ways in which the goal can be met. There is no official form of application. In your letter of application, please outline your interest in this opportunity and then describe in detail how you envision achieving the goal of this opportunity and benefiting the Trinity community in general.
