This year’s winner and recipient of the 2011 CEPEX Japan Studies Award is Megan Pfeifle. Her project, “Visual Kei: A Universal Subculture” examined Japan’s underground “glam rock” scene.  

As the 2011 CEPEX JSA winner, Megan will participate in a two-week internship in Washington, D.C. followed by a week-long trip to Japan to further her study of Japanese language, culture, and U.S.-Japan relations.  The trip to Japan is made possible by the generous support of All Nippon Airways (ANA).
