Japanese Religion and Culture Seminar
Experience the rich religious and cultural life of Japan! Students will visit temples, shrines, lay Buddhist movements and museums, and attend lectures by Dr. Stephen Covell, Japanese scholars and others. The tour will be led by Covell, who lived in Japan for 10 years where he worked as a translator, studied to be a Buddhist priest, and conducted research on contemporary Japanese religions. Covell has drawn on his experience and contacts in Japan to put together a unique behind-the-scenes tour of Japanese religious life for students.
