Talk:Japanese Mexicans

Married name of author Chizuko Watanabe
I want to find if Chizuko Watanabe has a name in Japanese (so it can be indicated with the English name) and therefore I want to see where she taught classes. That way I can access archives of any university websites and check for documents indicating her name.

When searching for info on Chizuko Watanabe I found:
 * Kashima, Tetsuden. Judgment Without Trial: Japanese American Imprisonment During World War II (The Scott and Laurie Oki series in Asian American studies). University of Washington Press, November 1, 2011. p. 248. ISBN 0295802332, 9780295802336.

So her married name is "Chizuko W. Hougen" WhisperToMe (talk) 07:32, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
 * "39. Chizuko W. Hougen, "The Japanese Immigrant Community in Mexico: Its History and Present," M.A. thesis, California State University, Los Angeles, June 1983, p. 64."

There is a "Chizuko W. Hougen" (April 22, 1947-January 31, 2005) on the Social Security Death Index: I want to know if she ever taught at a university so I can get information from archives of websites.
 * GeneologyBank
 * Death Record
 * Ancient Faces.com

From ancestry.co.uk (Search results) it states a "Chizuko Watanabe" married "William E Hougen" which explains the different name used for her in Tetsuden Kashima's citation. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:05, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

It seems like she became an instructor at a university. But I want to find out which one(s)...
 * p. 204.
 * "Chair Centre d'Etudes de l'Asie de 1'Est Universite de Montreal CP. 6128, Succ.

 * "Mount Hood Community College mil FACULTY AND PROFESSIONAL STAFF Ako Durrin, Instructor, Language and Literature Division Chizuko W. Hougen, Instructor, Language and Literature Division COURSES OFFERED Language and[...]"

So a "Chizuko W. Hougen" taught at Mount Hood Community College around 1995. She may have taught at the Universite de Montreal around 1989. WhisperToMe (talk) 08:19, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Seems like a "C Hougen" was still teaching at Mount Hood in 2002: WhisperToMe (talk) 08:51, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
