Education
The 4th GOE Summer School Program
“Borders in Eurasia”
Date: July 29 - Aug. 3, 2013
Venue: Slavic Research Centre, Hokkaido University, Japan
Objective:
One of the aims of the Global COE “Reshaping Japan’s Border Studies” is to create a core of young and promising graduate students and researchers on border studies by bridging and integrating our overseas networks and communities. The educational collaboration among participating universities and organizations will not only bridge the currently segregated borderland studies communities of the East and West, but also serve as a network to introduce the rich materials and resources on border studies in Eurasia and East Asia, which previously could not be introduced due to linguistic barriers. Therefore, the language of operation during the summer program will be in English. The ultimate goal of this GCOE program is to foster experts that can offer the results of their research to the policy-making communities to resolve border-related issues and conflicts as well as stabilize the de/re-borderlisation phenomena taking place in the international community to secure peace and prosperity.
Terms and Conditions:
The series of lectures during the summer seminar will be taught by Japanese and overseas experts of border studies and area studies. Upon fulfilling the requirements, participants will be issued a certificate recognizing the completion of the program. An overseas post-doctoral or doctoral researcher who joins the seminar is advised to apply using the application form on the website. Once selected, the GCOE Program will provide the participants with costs for local accommodation in Sapporo as well for related events (such as excursion). All participants will be requested to make a presentation (with paper) at a workshop on August 1st. And encouraged to contribute a manuscript for the GCOE program periodical (refereed) Eurasia Border Review. All participants would be responsible to cover their own airfare to and from Sapporo.
Participants will have free and unlimited access to the resources at Slavic Research Centre as well as the libraries at the Hokkaido University.
Other:
Doctoral students and post-doctoral fellows currently studying at Hokkaido University will also participate in this summer program. We would like to strongly encourage active discussions and exchange of opinions among Japanese as well as overseas participants. Also, Hokkaido has one of the most beautiful and mild summer season not only in Japan but the world, therefore, we would like to extend our invitation to all of you to enjoy and take advantage of this wonderful environment while actively studying and researching border studies in Japan, East Asia and Eurasia.
