SUMMARY:Vortrag am 04. November 2021\, 12.30 Uhr "Imagining Japan’s sustainable futures through food and urban planning" (Christoph Rupprecht)
DESCRIPTION:Take a moment\, and imagine urban Japan of the future. Did you picture corporate-branded smart cities\, driverless cars zipping about high-rises and vertical farms\, all against a backdrop of distant hills with drones hovering over rice fields\, small green patches within the niches of yet another mega-solar power plant — a society apparently humming along without so much as a person visible? Or did your mind take you on a haikyo tour of rusting\, abandoned and overgrown infrastructure\, partly flooded by rising sea levels? \nSeemingly omnipresent\, such visions of Japan’s future are surprisingly hard to set aside. In this talk\, I draw upon recent research across sustainability\, food and agriculture\, as well as city planning in Japan to examine how the global struggle to imagine and build brighter futures plays out in Japanese contexts. High-level preoccupation with economic growth stands in stark contrast to post-growth realities on the ground\, as well as to an emerging consensus in sustainability science on the need for radical transformation. Showcasing results of the five-year transdisciplinary research project FEAST\, I discuss how alternative practices around food and agriculture (from agroecological farming to urban beekeeping) point towards a silent shift in attitudes and values — a shift also visible in how residents of shrinking cities think about urban futures. \nA collection of landscape design concepts then offer a glimpse into possible tomorrows\, not least inspired by the emerging Japanese discourse on degrowth. Concluding with some reflections about the changing nature of research in and on Japan\, I argue that there has never been a more promising time\, or urgent need\, for collaborative research on Japan beyond disciplinary silos. \nChristoph D. D. Rupprecht (him/his) is a geographer working on cities from the perspectives of food\, agriculture\, green space\, solarpunk\, degrowth and multispecies/more-than-human thinking. He received his MA in Japanese studies\, philosophy and biology from Ludwig-Maximilian-University Munich in 2009 and his PhD in urban geography\, planning and ecology from Griffith University in 2015. After working as a Researcher and Senior Researcher for the FEAST Project at the Research Institute for Humanity and Nature from 2016-2021\, he is now a founding member and Director at the non-profit organization FEAST\, as well as a Associate Professor at the Department of Environmental Design\, Faculty of Collaborative Regional Innovation at Ehime University (Japan). Recent publications include the co-edited volume “みんなでつくる「いただいます」/ A feast of our making“ (in Japanese)\, the paper “Multispecies Sustainability”\, and the co-edited solarpunk SF anthology “Multispecies Cities” published by World Weaver Press.

SUMMARY:Vortrag am 08. November 2021\, 11.00 Uhr: "Reimagining International Students’ Social Engagement and Support in Japan During the Pandemic: The Role of Civil Society Groups" (Polina Ivanova)
DESCRIPTION:The lecture will focus on the impact of the ongoing pandemic on international students in Japan and solutions offered by local civil society groups. As universities and governments are generally considered responsible for providing for international students’ wellbeing\, there has been insufficient attention to alternative support providers\, such as non-profit organisations (NPOs)\, peer support groups\, university clubs and circles\, international friendship associations and other non-profit entities\, collectively called international student support organisations (ISSOs). This study uses interviews with international students enrolled at Japanese universities (staying inside the country and stranded abroad during the pandemic)\, volunteers and staff at ISSOs\, and observation of online and in-person events for international students to examine the civil society response to challenges faced by international students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lecture discusses common issues experienced by international students such as perceived insufficiency of university support\, inability to travel to the study destination\, instances of xenophobia\, loneliness and psychological distress. The ISSOs responded to those challenges by adapting their support mechanisms and raising public awareness of the problems faced by international students and migrants in general. The lecture will also show the fluidity of the immigration status of some international students resulting in their precarity and highlight how recent developments related to COVID vaccination rollout are affecting ISSOs’ activities. \nPolina Ivanova is a visiting researcher at the Institute of International Relations and Area Studies of Ritsumeikan University (Kyoto\, Japan) and a lecturer at Kyoto University of Foreign Studies. She holds a Ph.D. in International Relations from Ritsumeikan University. Her research interests lie in the areas of civil society\, migration\, human security\, and international education. Her doctoral research examined thirty civil society organisations supporting international students in the Kansai area of Japan and their contribution to social capital formation in local communities. In addition\, she participated in three collaborative projects in Japan\, Australia\, and the United States. Based on this work\, Polina published six peer-reviewed articles and presented her findings at several academic conferences and workshops in Japan\, the United Kingdom\, Mexico\, and the United States. Her recent projects focus on volunteer organisations involved with international students in Australia\, international students’ loneliness in the United States and Japan\, and civil society response to the pandemic in Japan\, Australia\, and the United States in the context of international student support. \nThe lecture will be conducted via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Vortrag: "Kabukichō – Tōkyō: Anthropogical perspectives" (Nathaniel M. Smith)
DESCRIPTION:As Tokyo readied itself to host the 2020 Summer Olympic Games\, its most infamous postwar red-light district\, Kabukicho\, was surprisingly proactive in welcoming a growing number of international visitors. Boasting new large-scale hotels\, capsule hotels created for salarymen now reinvented as low-cost options for tourists\, and multi-language menus ubiquitous at local restaurants\, enthusiastic efforts by officials\, local entrepreneurs\, and others saw a rebranded Kabukicho approach new heights. COVID-19 however\, brought down a blunt economic hammer that led to the disappearance of tourists\, stigmatization of nightlife-driven outbreak clusters\, and the delay of the Olympics. Though the virus imperiled both life and livelihood\, a diverse\, dynamic\, and dangerous Kabukicho is not a recent development. The nightlife-oriented area has long been the home of multiple communities marginalized in postwar Japan\, including former colonial subjects cum ethnic minorities\, new migrants\, the political and artistic fringe\, organized crime groups\, and precarious workers in the sexual services industry. How might the interplay of multiple marginalities found in a neighborhood like Kabukicho demonstrate potentials and limitations for life in an increasingly diverse but struggling Japan? To analyze what this node of Tokyo’s megacity portends for social change in Japan\, this talk will extend work in the anthropology\, politics\, and history of urban Japan to examine how ‘native and newcomer’ coexist in ‘neighborhood’ Kabukicho of the present moment\, assess creative responses to the tumult of 2020\, and consider how the neighborhood has navigated a host of local and global calamities in sometimes surprisVoing ways. \nNathaniel M. Smith is an anthropologist and Associate Professor in the College of International Relations at Ritsumeikan University (Kyoto\, Japan). He holds a PhD in anthropology and MA in East Asian Studies from Yale University as well as an MA in International Relations from Waseda University. Previously\, he has held faculty and research appointments at the University of Arizona\, UC Santa Barbara\, Waseda University\, and University of Tokyo. His research interests are broadly drawn around two topics. First\, since 2005 he has pursued research on far-right political activism in Japan. Next\, under the auspices of a Japan Foundation fellowship from 2019-2020\, he began an urban studies project centered on the post-WWII history and contemporary redevelopment of entertainment districts in Japan\, primarily centered on Tokyo’s Kabukicho. \nZoom-Meeting beitreten\nhttps://lmu-munich.zoom.us/j/96712939623?pwd=UXZKaytEamMvMUE2RlQ0Nkk1Sm9UZz09 \nMeeting-ID: 967 1293 9623\nKenncode: 731281

SUMMARY:Vortrag: „COVID-19 Health Certification Reduces Outgroup Bias: Evidence from a Conjoint Experiment in Japan“ (Yoshiaki Kubo\, Isamu Okada)
DESCRIPTION:Psychological theorem supposes that serious threats cause negative attitudes by ingroups to outgroups\, i.e.\, outgroup bias. For example\, the behavioral immune system theory claims a chain reaction from infectious threats to outgroup bias as the human defense against pathogens. However\, what reduces outgroup bias from threats to health caused by a pandemic is unknown. This study deals with this missing argument by focusing on threats to health by COVID-19\, which have caused negative attitudes toward racial/ethnic groups\, immigrants\, or tourists worldwide. In particular\, this study provides evidence that health certifications to prove immunity or negativity for COVID-19 contribute to reducing the outgroup bias. Using a discrete choice experiment with a randomized conjoint design in Japan\, we investigated public attitudes toward inbound travelers entering the country\, including foreigners\, immigrants\, or tourists. We found that those inbound travelers carrying a health certificate have a higher probability of being admitted entry by host residents: a vaccination certificate by 31 percent and a negative certificate by 27 percent. These effects are the same size as those travelers undergoing self-isolation. Our results demonstrate that health certifications can mitigate outgroup bias among ingroups facing threats to health by COVID-19. We anticipate our study to support the introduction of a vaccine passport\, which is often denied in terms of inequality between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. At the same time\, especially for unvaccinated travelers\, this study suggests that a negative certificate can be an alternative to a vaccine passport. \nYoshiaki Kubo is an Associate Professor at the Department of Law\, Politics and International Relations\, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences\, University of the Ryukyus\, Japan\, and; Joint Researcher at Research Institute for Humanity and Nature\, Japan. He is also a former Academic Associate at Program on U.S.-Japan Relations\, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs\, Harvard University\, USA\, and; former Visiting Scholar at Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures\, Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies\, Indiana University Bloomington\, USA.

SUMMARY:Vortrag: „Japan's Scope of Nursing Viewed by Foreign Nurses (Book Talk)“ (Yuko Ohara-HIRANO und Michiyo Yoneno-Reyes)
DESCRIPTION:Foreign Nurses Working in Japan: Assessments of the EPA Program edited by Hirano and Yoneno-Reyes (2021) discusses the nurse migration from Indonesia\, Philippines\, and Vietnam to Japan under the EPAs’ framework\, from multidisciplinary perspectives\, including nursing. What makes this book unique from other similar books on migration of health professionals in contemporary Japan is that several licensed nurses from the pertinent countries were invited in its making either as authors and/or as co-researchers. \nThis lecture focuses on two topics: First\, the gap of the concept of health in Japan and that in the sending countries. In the sending countries in Southeast Asia\, the medical model is often stressed in carrying out nursing\, while in Japan the mixture of the medical model and the life model is stressed. Such a difference has often caused a misunderstanding of the job description between the EPA nurses and the receiving hospitals\, and sometimes even conflicts between the two parties. None of the previous studies on EPA nurses has taken into consideration such a perspective of medical-sociology. \nSecond\, the Japanese language training. The lecture discusses the following two points; a) lack of research on the knowledge and skills needed at clinical settings; and b) the question of the scope of the responsibility of the receiving institutions (hospitals) that they teach EPA nurses Japanese language and assist them reviewing for the National Examination for Nurses. The lecture calls for the evidence-based reshaping of the program. \nYuko Ohara-HIRANO is a professor at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences\, Nagasaki University. Her specialty is the Sociology of Health and Illness. The Sociology of Health and Illness is a multi-disciplinary study\, involving economics\, politics as well as health sciences. It focuses on the phenomenon of health and illness by considering both formal and informal inter-relationships based on person to person\, person to group and group to group dynamics. In this field of study\, both quantitative and qualitative analyses are used. The goal of the Sociology of Health and Illness is to present perceptive and incisive data\, which society can utilize for developing ‚healthier‘ society – leading to a higher quality of life and greater respect for human rights. In the field of health care worker migration\, she focuses on how the social environments of sending as well as receiving countries contribute to their working and living condition at the host society. She emphasizes that to focus on the working and living condition of the health care migrants in Japan is a key to obtain a basic data which Japanese society can utilize for developing a society to consider health care work as a ‘decent work’\, which is applicable to any person in charge\, regardless the differences of nationality. \n\n\n\n\nMichiyo Yoneno-Reyes\, PhD in Asian Studies\, particularly Philippine Studies and Japan Studies\, with a disciplinary background in ethnomusicology and anthropology. Her current research projects include international migration of Asian care workers\, music activities of Asian migrants in Japan\, folk songs of Indigenous Filipinos in Asian modernity\, and database production of the films and photographs by a Japanese merchant in the early twentieth century Philippines. Aside from a number of articles on the culture\, migration and music of the Philippines and Japan\, she has co-edited Foreign Nurses Working in Japan: Assessments of the EPA Program (in Japanese\, 2021)\, edited Popular Culture of East Asia: Philippine Perspectives (2013)\, and is currently preparing a manuscript Doing and Undoing Tradition in Philippine Salidummay: Singing of Modernities in a Postcolonial Periphery. She used to be the Executive Editor of the International Journal of Asian Studies and the Review Editor of the Asian Studies Journal: Critical Perspectives on Asia. Before securing her current post as Professor at the University of Shizuoka\, she had taught at the University of Tokyo (2017-2021) and the University of the Philippines (1999-2016). She obtained her BA in Musicology from the Tokyo National University of the Arts and MM in Musicology and PhD in Philippine Studies from the University of the Philippines. \nThe lecture will be conducted via Zoom.
