The Miyagi Shiryō Net was founded in response to the recurring earthquakes and subsequent loss of the historical heritage of Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, since July 2003. After the tsunami and earthquake damage of 11th March 2011, our work not only entails historical preservation, but also helping shattered and endangered communities recover their identity and dynamism by giving them back a sense of their continuity.
Dr Guven Witteveen is a Japan anthropologist connected with Fukui Prefecture.
Along with museums and public outreach education, he works to help scholars make
their own work more accessible to wider audiences online and in person. He keeps
a self-introduction with links to some multi-media work online at http://bit.ly/fsp2013 and has recently written
about the value of outreach in the newsletters of the Association for Asian
Studies, as well as that of the American Anthropological Association at
anthropology-news.org. Thanks to the Fulbright Specialist Program he looks
forward to future assignments overseas to help colleagues with outreach and
public engagement. Write to him at anthoview@gmail.com or visit www.linkedin.com/in/anthrovew .
