The 7th MeetingThis is a featured page


Would you like to talk about your research in 5 minutes?

Dear Nikkei Studies ML Members, Greetings!

In recent years, an innovative new presentation format—demonstrating your research in limited time (6 minutes and 20 seconds) with PPT slides—is gaining popularity all over the world due to its simple but effective style. Inspired this phenomenon, the 7th Nikkei Studies Meeting will feature a similar presentation format and we are currently looking for 10 presenters who will talk about their research in 5 minutes. If you would like to share your research project or area of interest with us, please join us! Any topic dealing with migration, ethnic community and identity (not necessarily related to Nikkei) is welcome. After the presentations we will have a discussion forum in order to facilitate communication between presenters and the audience. The following is the details of the 7th Nikkei Studies Meeting:
