Spring 2024 - Dr. JP was genuinely a godsend during our tumultuous spring quarter. He taught our seminar "Buddhism and Intersectionality", and managed to make our 3 hour sessions fly by with his engaging lecture style and discussion-based lesson plans. Dr. JP was especially equipped to teach our seminar as he is the professor for "Intro to Asian American Studies", AND an ordained Buddhist priest. I came into the class knowing practically nothing about Buddhism, and only had entry-level knowledge of the Japanese experience post-Pearl Harbor, yet I managed to come out with a solid grasp of the interactions between both topics. I arrived at every class excited to learn and hopeful that we would be let out 30 minutes early (our norm). Dr. JP cultivated a community feel to our seminar and I really feel like I made 17 new friends after taking his class. Not only would I enroll in this class again, but I will be on the lookout for other classes that he may teach in the future. If you show up to class, skim the readings, and get the assignments in (no late policy), you'll get an A. 100% recommend.
