Hane Biography

I think out of everything I saw last week, the most significant details I found that would be useful for his biography would be his education and teaching experience, and some of the grants he’s recieved might be important to include too. He was a part of the American Historical Association in the Teaching Division 1980-83, he taught Japanese at Yale from 1943-57, as an assistant history professor at Toledo 1959-61, and then as a professor of history at Knox in 1961-92, gaining the title Professor Emeritus. He has also been the recipient of a Fulbright Research Fellow Grant from the University of Tokyo 1957-58, another Fulbright Grant from the Institute of Indian Civilization at the University of Mysore in 1963, one from the Associated Colleges of the Midwest in non-Western Studies in 1968, from the Japan Foundation for esearch in Japan in 1973, and from the National Endowment for the Humanities for research in Japan in 1979-80. I don’t know enough about each of those grants in particular to say which would be most significant, but even just the mention of “numerous grants for his research in Japanese history” would help to indicate his significance in the field.

  1. That’s a good question about the grants–they are significant and even one of them would be worth putting in by name, but do we have the space to put them all? We’ll have to figure out a strategy.
