Overview

By taking courses in all levels of the Japanese language, literature, and culture and spending a semester at a Japanese university, students hone their language skills and deepen their understanding of Japanese culture and society. The goal of the Japanese program from Wake Forest University is to help students succeed in professional and personal interactions with Japan after graduation. Former students have gone on to teach English in Japan, work at Japanese companies and the Japanese embassy.

Overview

The Outstanding Chinese and Japanese Major Awards were created to recognize the achievements of exceptional students who not only produce excellent thesis work during their senior year but also exhibit an enthusiasm and passion for East Asian Studies that goes beyond the conventional. Our recipients this year fit this bill through their fascinating scholarship but also their leadership, participation in a wide variety of departmental activities and events, as well as being exemplary ambassadors for East Asian cultural studies to the Wake Forest campus. The recipient of the 2019 Outstanding Japanese Major Award is Christopher Koontz, who developed a groundbreaking honors thesis project that uncovers a connection between constitutional debates on militarism in Japanese society and popular television programming in the 1980s through to the present day.
