Professor Koichi Iwabuchi speaking tour
Postgraduate and Early Career Researcher Development Node
Co-ordinator: Fran Martin
This project is to facilitate a series of Masterclasses and “open door” sessions with visiting scholar, Professor Koichi Iwabuchi, who will be in Australia on sabbatical leave from Waseda University, Japan, in 2009-2010. The intention is to run three events in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.
- In Brisbane: the event would take place in April 2010, to be hosted at QUT.
- In Perth, the 2 day event would take place in early April 2010, to be hosted jointly by Murdoch and Curtin Universities.
- In Melbourne, the event would take place in May 2010, to be hosted by the University of Melbourne.
It is envisaged that the format for each city would include:
- a one-day Master Class at which Professor Iwabuchi would discuss his work in conversation with a small group of attendees working in related areas (selected via competitive application; about 12-14 per city)
- a public lecture by Professor Iwabuchi on his latest research
- a one-day “open door” session where postgraduates and ECRs could have one-on-one discussions about their own research with Professor Iwabuchi, scheduled by prior appointment.
Planning is underway, and additional details will appear on this site as they become available.
