Japan Research Network Edinburgh - bringing together those working on any area of Japan

Together with colleagues at the University of Edinburgh, former Daiwa Scholar Dr Chris Harding is setting up a ‘Japan Research Network Edinburgh’. The Network’s aim is to bring together scholars working on any area of Japan – staff, researchers, and graduate students alike – via a website (JRNE.org ) where they can search for one another via name, institution, and research interests. They will also hold seminars in Edinburgh a few times per year. Their first will be given by Angus Lockyer, on 12th March 2015. Though they are particularly keen to get colleagues in Scotland and the north of England talking to and meeting one another, they would very much like to extend the invitation to scholars across the UK.

With that in mind, Chris Harding is hoping that you will want to become part of the network. You need only to email him (Christopher.Harding@ed.ac.uk) with a short bio, approximately 100 words, and a profile picture if you wish. Be sure to include a few keywords on your research, to help our search engine. Let Chris know too if you have other profile pages (academia.edu, etc) to which he should create a link.

JRNE would also love to see you at their first seminar on 12th March – a great excuse for a short Edinburgh getaway…! Details are being added to the website.

Very many thanks for your time in reading this. JRNE hope to be able to welcome you to our network at some point soon – do pass this on to anyone you think may be interested.
