2008, March 22 (Sat) & 23 (Sun)

The retreat program this year will be held in Izukogen on Mar. 22 (Sat.) and 23 (Sun.). This is a wonderful opportunity for you to exchange new knowledge, information, and ideas while relaxing physically and mentally at an “Onsen” (hot spring) by the sea.

We have invited Dr. Yasuko Minoura, Emeritus professor of the Ochanomizu University, as a special guest to conduct a workshop entitled “Methods and Techniques for Fieldwork” during our retreat. Dr. Minoura is one of the pioneers who introduced the fieldwork method in the field of the humanities in Japan. She will introduce techniques to collect field data and analyze them. We will also have an exciting workshop facilitated by MusIIC members, Professor Kyoko Yashiro and Ms. Yoshiko Higuchi. Please plan to join us. Details of the retreat program will be sent to you later.
