Dianne Daughtery, M.A., Contemporary East Asia Studies, 2018
My interest in East Asia, specifically Japan, began when my husband and I moved to Japan to teach English. It was a very fulfilling experience providing further inspiration to deepen my knowledge and understanding of Japanese culture. ultimately, I changed my career path to pursue teaching Japanese. After about 18 years in the teaching field, my growing interest and curiosity for Contemporary East Asian Studies led me to the M.A. program at KU.
I’ve always been intrigued by the intricate weaving of language and culture. History, beliefs, social position, gender, and endless other aspects of Japanese culture are revealed through its language and vice versa. I very much enjoy highlighting these cultural insights for students in my classes. The traditional and performing arts are also a key interest of mine. While living in Japan and on subsequent visits to Japan, I’ve studied Ikebana, tea ceremony, calligraphy, taiko drumming, and the kimono. For 17 years, I was the director of performing arts for the Greater KC Japanese Festival where we were able to highlight an extraordinary array of Japanese music and performing arts.
Much of my early academic studies in the fields of health and wellness included aspects of aging. As the director of the Olathe Senior Center, from 1985-89, I was able to introduce a variety of fitness classes and programs. Twenty years later, I was pleased to be able to include the study of aging in my M.A. thesis, “Aging, Ritual, and Ikigai in Post-Modern Japan.” I remain interested in incorporating the extensive learning from the CEAS M.A. degree as Adjunct Professor of Japanese at Johnson County Community College. I am also a member of the Japanese Instructors Association of the Heartland, a rather new group of teaching professionals that formed to support each other and pool our energy and interests so that we can improve and expand Japanese language studies in our region.
