AJI Interdisciplinary Seminars
The AJI Interdisciplinary Seminar series started in April 2020.
The Institute of Asian-Japanese Studies promotes interdisciplinary research on Asia and Japan, with researchers both from within and outside Ritsumeikan University in a wide variety of specialized fields participating in its activities. This series of seminars was created to promote and enhance interdisciplinary research and encourage active exchanges among specialists from different fields.
These seminars are held on campus and online to enable the participation of a wider audience. We would like to promote these seminars and research meetings more and more, to seize this opportunity to transcend borders constantly by using online formats. It is our hope that we can succeed in opening an interdisciplinary academic space, aiming at strengthened global scientific exchanges.
