The Japanese Studies research project will allow students to pursue independent research under the supervision of a Japanese Studies teacher. The course is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore in depth a topic related to Japanese Studies. They may choose to adopt a disciplinary approach (e.g. history, politics, literature, film, anthropology) or engage in a multi-disciplinary approach, depending on the nature of the question or issue of inquiry. Students wishing to take this capstone course should consult with a teacher who is willing to supervise them before enrolling. Students must also complete a research proposal template and submit to their proposed supervisor before the beginning of semester.
