Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (Japanese)
2018-2019 Library Enhancement Grant
Christopher Smith, on behalf of the Japanese program in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures received a Library Enhancement Grant to acquire materials necessary to expand the library’s collection of primary source material and scholarship in the fields of Japanese comics and animation, manga, and related visual cultural fields. The grant will add to the UF Smathers Libraries’ comics collection with more foundational primary and secondary sources in manga studies, focusing mainly on primary source material from the 1950s to the 1980s. Adding both English language and Japanese language materials will benefit faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students studying and doing research in Japanese, English, or Film and Media Studies Programs.
