Dear Colleagues:

It would be our dream to make Osaka U. as a kind of "hub" for international research on the Asia-Pacific studies (social science).
In the age of Internet, we still place great emphasis on face-to-face deep discussions. Consequently, I would like to apply for funding to invite scholars outside Japan who are working on any aspect of the Asia-Pacific studies (social science). Successful candidates will be invited to Osaka University (Osaka Japan) for a week or so before the end of this school year (before 31 March
2015) to hold seminars, lectures, and possibly symposium in Osaka.

We will cover your international airfare (economy) and accommodations here in Osaka. Everything will be conducted in English.
All proposals will be considered as they come. If you are interested, please send the followings to:
sugita@lang.osaka-u.ac.jp 1. brief CV 2. topic(s) 3.
abstract

Please keep in mind that the implementation of this project depends on availability of funding.

Thank you for your attention.

Best,
Yone
