The screening was followed by a reception with refreshments and a question and answer session with the director Toko Shiiki and composer Erik Santos.<\/p>\n Director Toko Shiiki focuses on the role of music as a positive and unifying force that supports a recovering community. She writes, “Finding and nurturing one’s happiness to continue living a healthy life is a fundamental human concern. No matter where we live, we must face this. The people in Fukushima have such inspiring sounds and stories to share with the world. From these positive people, perhaps we might learn and remember something important and unexpected.”<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide background_position=”center_right” background_size=”default” background_color=”#000000″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” alignment=”center” background_layout=”dark” allow_player_pause=”off” text_border_radius=”3″ header_font_select=”default” header_font=”||||” body_font_select=”default” body_font=”||||” custom_button=”off” button_font_select=”default” button_font=”||||” button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” heading=”LIASE Grant Opportunities Session” _builder_version=”3.0.77″] On February 10, Asian Studies and Environmental Studies students gathered to hear reports of grant projects during the summer 2015 and to learn of opportunities for summer 2016.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide background_color=”#000000″ alignment=”center” background_layout=”dark” allow_player_pause=”off” image=”https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/453\/2015\/05\/Sukumar_1.jpg” background_position=”default” background_size=”default” use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” text_border_radius=”3″ header_font_select=”default” header_font=”||||” body_font_select=”default” body_font=”||||” custom_button=”off” button_font_select=”default” button_font=”||||” button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” heading=”Talk on \u201cThe World of the Elephant\u201d presented by Dr. Raman Sukumar” _builder_version=”3.0.77″] On April 24, 2015 Dr. Raman Sukumar of the Indian Institute of Science presented a talk on\u00a0The World of the Elephant: Behavior, Ecology and Conservation.\u00a0 He covered the major ecological features of Asian and African elephants in relation to their habitats, their complex social organization and behavior, their interactions with people, their exploitation for the ivory trade, and the conservation dilemmas of the 21st century.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide background_color=”#000000″ alignment=”center” background_layout=”dark” allow_player_pause=”off” image=”https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/453\/2014\/09\/AsianConPosterSession16March2015.jpg” heading=”Asian Conversations \u2013 Foodways Talks and Poster Sessions” background_position=”default” background_size=”default” use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” text_border_radius=”3″ header_font_select=”default” header_font=”||||” body_font_select=”default” body_font=”||||” custom_button=”off” button_font_select=”default” button_font=”||||” button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.77″] The students who studied food and environment in China, Japan and Northfield educated their colleagues with presentations and posters on topics like Factory Farming, Rice-Fish Culture, Food Packaging during dinner on 16 March 2015.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide background_color=”#000000″ image=”https:\/\/pages.stolaf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/453\/2014\/09\/AsConEnCon2.jpg” alignment=”center” background_layout=”dark” allow_player_pause=”off” heading=”Asian Conversations and Environ\u00admental Conversations Dinner” background_position=”default” background_size=”default” use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” text_border_radius=”3″ header_font_select=”default” header_font=”||||” body_font_select=”default” body_font=”||||” custom_button=”off” button_font_select=”default” button_font=”||||” button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” _builder_version=”3.0.77″] Over the 2015 interim, the Asian Conversations and Environmental Conversations programs collaborated in a project about the sustainability and environmental impact of Chinese and Japanese food systems.
