Savannah, GA–
February 21, 2005— The American Association of State Colleges and
Universities (AASCU) awarded the Sasakawa Fellowship to June Hopkins,
associate professor of history at Armstrong Atlantic State University
(AASU). The Sasakawa Fellowship allows faculty to attend the 2005 National
Faculty Development Institute on Incorporating Japanese Studies into the
Undergraduate Curriculum, held on the San Diego State University campus.
The program is multi-disciplinary in content and designed for faculty
without prior experience in Japanese studies who wish to incorporate information
about Japan into the courses they teach. The institute involves one month
of intensive seminars, lectures, readings, films, and cultural activities.
It allows participants to learn from scholars, business leaders, artists,
and journalists about Japanese civilization, history, language, business,
and education.
Hopkins is the author of Harry Hopkins: Sudden Hero, Brash Reformer
in 1999 and Jewish First Wife, Divorced: The Correspondence of
Ethel Gross and Harry Hopkins in 2002. She came to AASU in 1998 and
teaches American History to undergraduate and graduate students. During
a leave of absence, 2002-2003, she served as the associate editor of The
Eleanor Roosevelt Papers, The Human Rights Years, in Washington, D. C.
Hopkins earned a Ph.D. in history from Georgetown University in 1997.
