October 3: 2:00 PM-6:00 PM; October 4: 9:00 AM-5:30 PM
International workshop with scholars from Japan, Europe, and the U.S.
| This two-day workshop will be sponsored jointly by the Donald Keene Center of Japanese Culture, the International Shinto Foundation (ISF), and the Institute for Medieval Japanese Studies at Columbia University. The workshop simultaneously serves as ISF’s 7th International Symposium.
The goal of this workshop is twofold. One is to stimulate further exchange on Shinto and Shinto-related issues among scholars working in diversified, interdisciplinary fields of Japanese and religious studies. The other is to historicize Shinto in its political, social, and cultural contexts. This workshop will encourage the participating scholars to look at new fields of study and develop new research methods in wide-ranging academic disciplines. RSVP required (limited seating) Please note that parts of this workshop will be conducted in Japanese. |
