BTW - if any of you out there are educators or in education administration there is a Fulbright Scholarship that will pay for you to go overseas to Japan for 3 weeks. Here's the link. . .

After I have a few good years of teaching under my belt I plan to try for the teacher program. It would be an awesome opportunity to return to Japan and have real hands-on time in Japanese schools.
I often tell my high school students that Japanese students have to clean up their classroom themselves in hopes it'd inspire them... unfortunately, my students are still ridiculously messy individuals. |

Go Frenchy! The Schoolgirls and Mobile Suits conference is awesome, and if the book goes half as deep as that conference did in blurring the lines between commercial art and fine art, it will be an amazing book.

Very cool, I remember about half a decade ago, when I was back in college at Bentley and Chris Kohler was over at Tufts University. He got a Fulbright award and wound up in Japan doing research on the Japanese video game industry. He published his own book and he's been doing great things for Wired for a few years now.
Fulbright fellowships to go to Japan are definitely nothing to sneeze at if you use them right. - Marty Lund |
