Nevertheless, this strict separation was not always the case in human history. In this short lecture, Professor Lee will seek to touch upon the basic concepts of Sinitic medicine while reading with everyone Asai Ry\u014di\u02bcs famous tale of \u201cThe Peony Lantern\u201d. He hopes to show that Asai Ry\u014di\u02bcs tale was an attempt to inform people of the medical risks of the supernatural. He will then situate his tale in the broader history of medical discourse.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Day &amp; Time\uff1aJune 21st, 2024 (Fryday), 14:00-15:00<\/li>\n<li>Venue\uff1aLab (2nd floor of WIHL)<\/li>\n<li>Language\uff1aJapanese<\/li>\n<li>Participation\uff1aFree<\/li>\n<li>Participants\uff1aStudents, Faculty and Public<\/li>\n<li>Presented by the Yanai Initiative for Globalizing Japanese Humanities, with support from the Waseda International House of Literature<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/06\/0621OpenTalk.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flyer<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Lecture<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Clarence I-Zhuen Lee<\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-26963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/culture\/assets\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Lee_I-Zhuen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"179\" height=\"184\" \/> After receiving his Ph.D. from Cornell University\u02bcs Department of Asian Studies in 2018, he was hired as an Assistant Professor of Japanese at the University of Colorado- Boulder before becoming a Visiting Research Scholar at the International Research Center for Japanese Studies (Kyoto) in 2022.
