Waseda Extension Center—Autumn Online Class
America in 2024 is a complex country. People of different colors, assorted national origins, native languages, and political views are competing for power in the government. They are competing for financial, social, and religious advantages.
My online class via the Waseda Extension Center (see below) commences on October 3 and we will consider all of these aspects of America today. A week prior to each class, I will send out a PDF reading from newspapers like the New York Times International Edition and magazines like The Atlantic Monthly and The Economist. Participants can download the reading one week ahead of time and look up vocabulary if necessary.
In class each participant reads one section aloud. Then we check vocabulary and discuss the content. As we read, we discuss the issues and sometimes compare America and Japan. We try to explain why Americans think the way they do.
In the autumn class, our focus will be on the North, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River. In the winter and spring, we will turn to the other parts of America. But in all of these terms, we will discuss America as a whole, just focusing on certain local issues as a means of going deeper into how Americans think.
This is not a lecture class. It is a read-and-discuss class. The readings are not long, I promise. They are just long enough to expand your vocabulary and help you explain your ideas.
