Three East Asian Studies faculty members, Yuki Johnson, Jin Jiang and Rena Nagaruma will be leaving JHU at the end of this semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Yuki Johnson, Director of the Center for Language Education, is retiring to Houston after a long and distinguished career in language education. Over the course of her career, Professor Johnson has taught at numerous prestigious institutions and played a pivotal role in advancing language instruction across diverse academic settings. Dr. Johnson has authored multiple books and journal articles on Japanese language pedagogy. Since joining Johns Hopkins University in 2009, she has been instrumental in the development and modernization of the Center for Language Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rena Naganuma is departing Johns Hopkins University after serving for several years as a dedicated lecturer in Japanese for the Center for Language Education. During her tenure, she focused on equipping students with practical language skills that could be applied in real-world contexts; in fact, she has been a force behind the EAS weekly language corners, consistently drawing the largest number of participants, especially among undergraduates. Ms. Naganuma believes that language learning is a powerful means of building connections and enriching lives, and she has taken great joy in seeing her students travel to Japan and engage meaningfully using the language skills they developed in her classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Jin Jiang, a historian from East China Normal University in Shanghai, is completing her second year as the EAS Yeung Family Distinguished Visiting Professor. During her storied career, Professor Jiang has taught both in American and Chinese universities including Vassar College, NYU Shanghai, and East China Normal University. She has also held visiting positions at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, the Harvard-Yenching Institute, and St. John\u2019s College, UBC. While teaching classes about gender, family, film, and literature in China, she has become a valued member of our EAS community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the years, Yuki’s, Rena’s and Jin’s contributions have strengthened the East Asian Studies Program and made our students’ experience unique and unforgettable. As Yuki, Rena and Jin move on to the next chapters in their lives, the East Asian Studies Program thanks them and wishes them all the best!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
