The Center for Information on Religion (hereafter CIR) launched a seminar for the Study of Japanese Culture and Religion in Japanese for non-Japanese-native graduate students.  The seminar calls for the papers of well-motivated students who hope for presentation and discussion with other participants in Japanese.

We at CIR will invite 6 students maximum among all the non-Japanese-native graduate student applicants who belong to the university or institution outside Japan for the study of Japanese Culture and Religion. We intend to encourage networking and inspiring discussions beyond language barriers among young scholars and experts in Japan.

Presentation and discussion should be in Japanese though we accept additional explanation in English.  The attendants are required to join all the sessions of the one and a half days seminar, to present their paper in Japanese, and to contribute to the discussion to the presentation of others in Japanese.

Date June 14-15, 2014 (Check in June 13, Check out June 16)
