Yamashita (Karen Tei) papers

Series 1: Biographical 1968-2013

Physical Description: 25 boxes

Physical Description: 0.617 GB(1,044 digital files)

Scope and Content

This series broadly reflects Yamashita's general career as a writer, playwright, and lecturer, with some papers regarding her personal life. The bulk of the Biographical series consists of correspondence, publication, and research materials, but more distinctly includes papers from her organizational activities and speaking engagements. Organizational activities, such as mentorship and committee work in PEN America and PEN International, resulted in the accumulation of publication catalogs, conference fliers, and copies of short works by others like introductions and articles. Also included are papers related to teaching in the United States and abroad, research and notes on pedagogy, and course syllabi. Materials related to speaking engagements, such as readings, guest lectures, speeches, and panels were originally organized by Yamashita into subject files composed of correspondence, brochures, fliers, programs, research, and speaking notes.
