Nonaka lab 1; Modern Southeast Asian Studies
Nonaka lab 2: Muslim Symbiosis Project
This project will be carried out to gain a deeper understanding about people living in different cultures and societies through interaction and dialogue with local people in Indonesia.
There are two main activities. One is to pay attention to various social issues related to religions, especially Islam, in Indonesia, which has the world's largest Muslim population. The other is to learn about the diversity of Indonesia by visiting both Jakarta as a capital city, and Makassar in Sulawesi island. In particular, we will visit to educational institutions for youth and Islam-related organizations. I hope the exchange and interaction between the participants from SFC and young people who are about the same ages as them will be the foundation for future academic collaboration and networking between both countries. In addition, the participants will touch and experience the local people’s lives by visiting to and conducting interviews with them.
During the project, the participants will work in groups. Each group will set a theme, conduct a 10-day fieldwork, and make a presentation on the final day.
The expected participants are the students in Nonaka lab and who take Malay-Indonesian classes, however, those who are interested in and highly motivated, are also welcomed. (If the number of applicants exceeds the capacity, priority will be given to Nonaka lab’s members and those who have taken the Malay-Indonesian courses.)
Please contact in advance if you are not a student in Nonaka lab and in any Malay-Indonesian language class.
The participants are required to attend the pre-orientation in the 3-5th period of Feb 6.
