Fieldwork

May 11, 2016

In the 2nd seminar of DFW2016, we invited Mr. Tatsuyoshi Suzuki, Director of Oiden Sanson Center, Toyota City, to give us a lecture about Center, their activities and situation of Toyota City. Mr. Suzuki introduced many projects promoted by the Center to establish a mechanism which can closely link people in urban and rural areas. The introduction provided us many hints and information for our participants to consider their interests and explore their topics and research questions. We look forward to meeting Mr. Suzuki again in June.

Our special appreciation goes to our TAs, Mr. Motomi Mizutani, Ms. Xuemei Li, and Mr. Shiva Ram Khadka. Without their hard work on the translation and interpretation, we could not make this seminar successful.

We are pleased to have Prof. Mamoru Tsuda from Nagoya University of Foreign Studies to take us into brain storm of understanding “The Philippines on the Globe and the Globalized Filippinos”. Prof. Tsuda taught us a way of thinking of issues in the Philipines through diverse and comparative perspetives. He also provided us many hints regarding topics of each team.
