Tokyo Humanities Project is excited to announce the next in our series of English-language humanities cafés, organized by the Tokyo Humanities team and compèred by Alex Watson (Meiji University).
We invite a series of speakers - researchers, artists, translators, and others - to present their work in an informal, supportive, and lively atmosphere.
The event brings research outside the university to a broader audience, and provides a space for people to meet and exchange ideas.
We invite a series of speakers - researchers, artists, translators, and others - to present their work in an informal, supportive, and lively atmosphere.
The event brings research outside the university to a broader audience, and provides a space for people to meet and exchange ideas.
Each presenter gives a 10-15 minute talk in English about any aspect of their work. For example, they might explain an ongoing research project, talk about a book of poetry or a translation they're working on, or discuss their photography career...
The talks are all pitched (TED-style) at a general audience - so no specialist knowledge is required. There'll also be plenty of time to relax with a drink and exchange ideas with other attendees.
