Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan
- Sponsored by:
- Japanese and Axinn Center for the Humanities
Davis Family Library, Upper Level Display Cases
The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu. Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects. Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

Howard E. Woodin Environmental Studies Colloquium Series: "Animal Farming Should Be Environmentalists' Central Focus"
- Sponsored by:
- Environmental Studies
“Animal Farming Should Be Environmentalists’ Central Focus” a Howard E. Woodin Environmental Studies Colloquium Series talk by Kevin Kuruc, Assistant Professor of Economics at Middlebury College.
Animal agriculture destroys more habitat than any other human activity and ranks among the most water intensive. The industry produces enough greenhouse gases to push warming close to two degrees on its own. And it causes tremendous suffering to the farmed animals themselves. No human activity is more at odds with our shared goals and values.
