<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">CC: </span>Workshop Planning Team: Flor Culpa Bondal, Tsu-Ming Chiang, Baogang Guo, Sung Shin Kim<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The workshop is coming up on Friday, April 1, and now that the program is set and most USG faculty are back from spring break, we are ready to start outreach. The flyer and program are attached (in one merged document). Please take a
look at it ASAP, as I’m making an effort not to repeat info from the flyer and program in this email.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Go ahead and register for the workshop</b> if you plan to attend, as the Zoom links for the sessions will be sent out next week to those who register.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Because we have six straight sessions at 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2 on a wide variety of topics and geographical areas, and each session has its own individual Zoom link, many participants will be dropping in for maybe just a few sessions, or
perhaps even just one (though some Asian Studies enthusiasts and many of our Asia Council colleagues might attend most, if not all). In order to encourage people who might be planning to attend just one session to consider attending at least one more, the
sessions have been strategically ordered so that they are before and after a session that has something in common with it. If you want to see the rationale behind the strategic ordering of sessions, it is included at bottom in red shading (with the session
topics, not titles, as the titles are included in the program).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please begin promoting the workshop. Below in green shading are some strategies that will help, as long as some targeted outreach that I plan to do, and below that is a workshop logo that you can use when sending emails (you can adjust
the size, just right click), along with the registration link (which is also found in the flyer as an imbedded link).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let me know if you have any questions or recommendations.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="color:black">The first one on film being humanities focused and the second one or labor issues being social science focused, the academic areas are not similar. However, they both target East Asia, and many people who are
interested in Korea are also interested in Japan, and vice versa. Also, since both speakers are from North Georgia, and the Asian Studies program there focuses on East Asia, this is a good opportunity for the Director to rally the troops to get behind these
first two sessions in particular (the troops being the faculty in her East Asian Studies Program, not literal troops, since it is a military school). Many Asia Council colleagues will remember how great the participation from UNG was at the ASDP national
conference in 2020 that our Asia Council hosted in Atlanta.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt;color:black"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="color:black">Additional consideration: With six sessions, we have a jam-packed workshop, but it’s always good to have a strategic session to begin and end the day. Korean cinema is ideal for two reasons: 1) Everyone is
interested in Korea now; 2) Film is a strategic area at Georgia colleges and universities with Georgia’s burgeoning film industry, and film faculty who are not up to speed on the Korean film industry should be, as many of their students are watching Korean
movies and TV dramas, especially in their introductory film courses. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="color:black">These two pair well because they focus on social issues – labor issues and women’s issues – which will appeal to Sociologists, in particular, as well as Economists, since the India session on women also focuses
on economic issues.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

the middle of the day enables science instructors who have labs on Friday morning time to finish in time to attend this session.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
