A Greeting…
June 2015
TO:

Japan Studies Association participants and the many partners JSA has
developed in organizing the “Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
1945-2015” Workshop.

FROM:

Fay Beauchamp, JSA Vice President for Special Projects, and on behalfof the JSA Organizing Committee of Joseph Overton, Stacia Bensyl,
James Peoples, Maggie Ivanova, Robert Feleppa and Lonny Carlile.

We are delighted to welcome our speakers, facilitators, and participants to our workshop
held June 28 to July 5, 2015 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. We are gathering to commemorate the70th year since the two atomic bombings of our host cities; to realize anew the unique suffering ofAugust 1945 and the larger devastation of the preceding war; and to understand the significant
efforts of Japanese, Americans, and citizens from around the world to move toward sustainable
and equitable peace. While our primary goal is to enable teachers to share new insights andmaterials with their students, we also value the intrinsic worth of our discussions, interactions andexperiences while in Japan.
Listing the generous support from many organizations and educational institutions does
not give enough credit to the contributions of JSA’s many partners who have made this workshop
possible. In 2003, the Japan Studies Association held the “Reconsidering Hiroshima andNagasaki” workshop based on partnerships with the Hiroshima Peace Culture Foundation and theHiroshima Peace Institute, now located at Hiroshima City University. In 2013, with support of theJapan Foundation’s Center for Global Partnership, a delegation of JSA officers was enabled tocome to Japan and meet our Honorary Co-Chairs, Mr. Yasuyoshi Komizo and Professor Gen
Kikkawa. Many others identified in the program have worked over two years to make thisworkshop possible; we thank them all for their commitment and generous spirit. We also thankMs. Naoko Yorimoto of the Hiroshima Peace Promotion Office, for her work and patience in being
our liaison over so many months.
Since 2003, we in the Japan Studies Association have lost some of our friends who madethis journey possible. I wish to mention two colleagues at Community College of Philadelphia,
Dr. Diane Freedman who created the JSA program with such zest in 2003, and Professor Lynne
Shivers who inspired many at my college to care and teach about the atomic bombings. Lynne
was a director of the Hiroshima World Friendship Society in 1986 and followed with keen interest
our JSA plans for 2015 until her death in February of this year. JSA members are still recoveringfrom the death in 2014 of our Vice President, Thomas Campbell, who was an intrinsic part of our2013 site visit to Japan.
New sources of support in 2015 come from the University of Hawaii, the Freeman
Foundation, the University of Kansas, the Nagasaki Peace Promotion Office, and again from theJapan Foundation’s Center for Global Partnership. As we recognize the dedication of so many,
we welcome new and renewed interest and commitment of those who join us this June, both young
students and some of us who are also turning seventy this year.
