Summary

Beginning in the 2016 academic year, members of the research program “Building a Base for Future Scholars Involved in Studies of Pre-modern East Asia Texts: Acceleration of Research and Education through International Collaboration.”(Program leader: SAITO Mareshi) have established the Platform for Rising Scholars as a means for young researchers to present and share their research with one another.

This event gives young researchers, including graduate students, post-doctoral students, assistant professors, and instructors, a unique opportunity to present original research at venues other than their home institutions. The commentators for this event have likewise been chosen from the ranks of young researchers.

Some presenters have been selected from those universities and research institutions where this event will be held, in hopes of promoting academic collaboration extending beyond the usual boundaries of each institution involved.

1. HIROSE Kimihiko (PhD student at Hokkaido University)
“Social Hierarchy and Historical Consciousness in the Man’yōshū”
2. Matthieu FELT (Junior visiting researcher at Waseda University and PhD student at Columbia University)
