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.

What should we do when we strongly suspect a student of having broken the honor code? What are the best practices for approaching students in such cases? How can we build trust and a spirit of academic integrity, especially when generative A.I. now makes cheating so easy and so tempting? Join us for a discussion organized by the Academic Integrity Committee with faculty and students who have been through the judicial process and come out the other side intact.
Open to all faculty. Register here.
