JSC Semester 1 2019 Round Up
The first semester of 2019 proved a busy one at the Japanese Studies Centre; we welcomed back Dr. Alison Tokita as an adjunct researcher, as well as hearing from both local staff and guest speakers.
We were particular pleased to start out with a collaborative event, a public lecture by Prof Yasushiro Matsuda of Tokyo University, presented in cooperation with the Japanese Consulate General (for more info on this lecture, click here). We also heard from Dr. Lucien Brown (Monash University) who is doing comparative work on politeness in Japanese and Korean; later seminars included presentations by Dr. Tokita and our visiting scholar, Prof. Ayuu Ishida.
We look forward to a busy semester 2! If you would like to be added to our mailing list, let Prof Stevens know by emailing her here.
