The Collaborative Research Workshop for Aspiring Scholars in Japanese Studies

Purpose of the Workshop

Building a Network and Developing the Ability to Conduct Collaborative Research

This workshop is aimed at developing the basic skills necessary for conducting international and interdisciplinary collaborative research so that young scholars who are expected to take the lead in future Japanese studies can play an active role as international and interdisciplinary scholars in the future.

In this program, participants give a mock panel presentation as the final assignment. It consists of various parts, including a lecture on basic knowledge that should be acquired as a scholar and a session to consider the importance of networking across academic fields and geographical regions. The workshop encourages participants to think about how their own research is intertwined with other research fields or society. It also requires participants to not only broaden their viewpoints to other fields of research but also deepen their understanding of their own research. Another purpose of the workshop is to help participants develop the ability to conduct collaborative research by encouraging them to proactively build a network with talented participants from various countries and regions, as well as leading scholars who serve as workshop lecturers and graduate students who are studying in Japan.
