Maggie Mastrandrea awarded grant from the Japan Foundation

Maggie will participate in an immersive program for scholars in Japan for the coming academic year

Maggie Mastrandrea recently received a grant from the Japan Foundation to participate in their Japanese-Language Program for Specialists in Cultural and Academic Fields in Osaka, Japan from October 2025 - March 2026. This prestigious award entails a course that synchronizes language learning with professional development related to participants' careers (in Maggie's case, as an art historian). Maggie not only will be in intensive language classes, but will be meeting with librarians and other art historians and conducting research for her dissertation on transwar nihonga painting.

Congratulations Maggie!
