<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Interest in Japanese popular culture is high among students at all levels, driving enrollment in Japanese Studies programs. However, there has been little reflection on the pedagogy of teaching Japanese popular culture. Now is the time for critical reflection on teaching practices related to teaching about and with Japanese popular culture. This volume encompasses theoretical engagement with pedagogy of popular culture as well as practical considerations of curriculum design, lesson planning, assessment, and student outcomes. While the main focus is undergraduate teaching, there is also discussion of K-12 teaching, with authors discussing their experiences teaching Japanese popular culture not only in North America, but also in Australia, Germany, Singapore, and Japan, both in Japanese-language and English-language institutions.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DEBORAH SHAMOON is Associate Professor of Japanese Studies at the National University of Singapore, where she teaches courses in modern Japanese literature and popular culture.
