The DDPI project has organized a “Young Researchers’ Seminar” on August 10 (the first event), mainly for post-doctoral and graduate students in the humanities and social sciences, to arouse young researchers’ interest in a wide range of topics related to solving issues of disparity and inequality, the potential of digital technology for this purpose (digital democracy), and digital transformation, and to expand their research horizons through research exchange and discussion.

The first session will be presented by Mr. Tamon Ota (Adjunct Research Fellow in Humanities and Social Sciences) and Ms. Kaoruko Ootsuki (Doctoral Student, International Japanese Studies Degree Program). The topics are as follows
Tamon Ota: “Solidarity Economy as Discourse: The Case of Organic Agricultural Trade in Ecuador” (tentative)
Kaoruko Otsuki: “Issues in Accepting Foreign Nursing Care Workers: Focusing on Foreign Technical Intern Trainees” (tentative)

※Please note that this seminar will be held internally.
