And in 2026, I&#8217;ll be living and teaching there for 15 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like a dream. In less than a year now, I&#8217;ll be leaving. The last time I was away from the US for so long was during my junior year abroad, which was many decades and a very different me ago. Aside from missing my wife, daughter, and dog, I&#8217;m not mad at the idea of not being in the US for a while. I&#8217;m sure by then I&#8217;ll need a break from the daily (if not hourly) doses of madness.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be teaching at Temple University&#8217;s new Kyoto campus. As of this posting, I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m teaching yet. But I do expect it will be a combination of graduate and undergraduate classes. In addition, I&#8217;m hoping to do some research while I&#8217;m there. Thanks to a colleague of mine, I&#8217;m thinking of researching study abroad through the lens of complex systems. Not sure what that will look like, but stay tuned.<\/p>\n<p>This is quite literally terra incognita.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a bit scary, but I know I can do it. And the fact I can even do it at all is due in great measure to the support of my wife, who will be managing the homestead in my absence.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m starting this blog as a way to remember. And plan. And ponder. So, follow along. And if you&#8217;re a fellow Temple faculty member reading this before applying to teach at TUJ or after being notified of your acceptance, I hope you find this helpful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t believe how fortunate I am.\u00a0 For as long as I can remember, I&#8217;ve wanted to visit Japan.
