\"scholarship<\/a><\/p>\n

The National Association of Japanese Canadians<\/em> and the Landscapes of Injustice<\/em> Partnership Project are proud to jointly announce the:<\/p>\n

\u201cHIDE HYODO-SHIMIZU RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Valued at $10,000, this research scholarship will be awarded to a student who was enrolled full time at a Canadian University in the 2016-2017 academic year. The successful applicant will join the Landscapes of Injustice<\/em> research team in late April 2017, participating in its 2017 national Spring Institute, and then join the research team for the duration of summer.<\/p>\n

Landscapes of Injustice<\/em> is a 7-year (2014-2021) multi-sector and interdisciplinary project to uncover and tell the history of the dispossession of Japanese Canadians to audiences across Canada and beyond. The first years of the project include research in a range of areas necessary to telling this history. Our work will result in a traveling museum exhibit, teaching materials for elementary and secondary school classes, educational websites, scholarly and popular publications, and public presentations across the country. Most Canadians know that people of Japanese ancestry, the large majority of them Canadian citizens, were uprooted from the British Columbia coast during the 1940s. Much less known is the policy, unique to Canada, to forcibly sell all of their property. The dispossession of Japanese Canadians caused lasting harm. It left Japanese Canadians without homes to which they could return after restrictions were finally lifted in 1949. It forced the eradication of Canada\u2019s historic Japanese Canadian neighbourhoods and settlements, thereby transforming individual lives and identities, and the broader landscapes of Canadian ethnic and urban life. It caused material hardship that stretches across multiple generations.<\/p>\n

Like other shameful episodes of our national history, these events may seem to belong to a distant past, to a history left behind by multicultural Canada. In reality, however, the past is not so easily escaped. As Canada enters a century in which it will grow ever more diverse, a deep conversation about the enduring legacy of racism is of pressing importance. Landscapes of Injustice is committed to telling this history. Our team includes 16 institutions and over 30 specialists from universities, community organizations, and museums across Canada. The project is funded by a major grant from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada and by participating institutions.
\nApplications will be accepted until 4 pm PST Friday, March 31, 2017 and then on a rolling basis after that until a successful candidate is selected.<\/p>\n
