第1回若手研究者報告会 Junior & Visiting member Workshop
GHCの東京拠点である東京大学東洋文化研究所には、新しい世界史/グローバルヒストリーに関連する研究に取り組んでいる外国人若手研究者が数多く滞在している。彼らと日本人若手研究者が一堂に会し、情報交換と意見交換を行うための若手研究者報告会が、7月11日（月）に開催された。報告者とその報告タイトルは次の通りである。司会はGHC東京拠点代表の羽田教授が務めた。
1. Wolfgang Thiele (Berlin Humboldt and Free University), “Taiwanese Nationalism and the Global Decolonisation Discourse”
2. Miyabi Goto (Princeton University), “Negative Construction of the Absolute in Meiji Japan’s Writing Practices”
3. Lisa Hellman, “The Kalmyk Court from Within: an Alternative History of Globalization”
4. Lei Qinyuan, “Science and Technology Debates in Interwar East Asia”
5. Lee Ju-Ling, “Clothing the Body, Changing Identity: the Case of Japanese in Colonial Taiwan (1895-1908) and Korea (1876-1910)”
6. Elijah Greenstein, “National Fleet, Global Industry: the Politics of Japanese Shipping in the Early Twentieth Century”
報告者以外にも、ニューヨーク市立大学、プリンストン大学、それに東京大学とGHCに所属する若手研究者らが多数参加し、東洋文化研究所に客員教授として着任したばかりの包茂紅・北京大学教授も出席下さり議論に参加された。
各報告は20分の持ち時間で行われ、その後30分程度の質疑と意見交換の時間が設けられた。4人の大学院学生の報告は、完成に近い修士論文や博士論文の内容紹介であり、2人のポスドク研究者は、これから新たに取り組む研究の概要を説明し（Lisa Hellman）、博士論文の延長上にあってまとめて出版を目指す研究内容を紹介（Lee Ju-Ling）した。
いずれも斬新な視角から興味深い論点を導き出す高度な内容を伴った報告であり、有意義で建設的な意見や助言が数多く出され、質疑時間の関係ですべてについて深く議論できなかったことを残念に感じた。
秋には新しい若手研究者たちが東洋文化研究所にやってくるので、今年度第2回目の研究集会を企画し、開催したいと考えている。（羽田 正）
At the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, the University of Tokyo, which is the Tokyo headquarters for the Global History Collaborative (GHC), a large number of young foreign research fellows visit to work on research related to new history of the world / global history. Juinor & Visiting member workshop was held on Monday July 11th for the foreign fellows to meet with young Japanese research fellows and exchange information and ideas. The names of presenters and titles of their presentations were as follows. The session was hosted by Professor Masashi Haneda, GHC Tokyo representative.
1. Wolfgang Thiele (Berlin Humboldt and Free University), “Taiwanese Nationalism and the Global Decolonisation Discourse”
2. Miyabi Goto (Princeton University), “Negative Construction of the Absolute in Meiji Japan’s Writing Practices”
3. Lisa Hellman, “The Kalmyk Court from Within: an Alternative History of Globalization”
4. Lei Qinyuan, “Science and Technology Debates in Interwar East Asia”
5. Lee Ju-Ling, “Clothing the Body, Changing Identity: the Case of Japanese in Colonial Taiwan (1895-1908) and Korea (1876-1910)”
6. Elijah Greenstein, “National Fleet, Global Industry: the Politics of Japanese Shipping in the Early Twentieth Century”
Aside from the presenters, many young researchers from City College of New York, Princeton University, The University of Tokyo and GHC participated. Peking University Professor Bao Maohong , who had just arrived to his post as a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia, also attended and participated in the discussion.
Each presenter had 20 minutes to give their presentation, and the following 30 minutes were set aside for questions and comments. The presentations by the four graduate students were introductions to the contents of nearly perfected master’s theses or doctoral dissertations. The two post-doc fellows gave a summary of the new research they will be working on (Lisa Hellman), and introduced the contents of a summary study aiming for publication, after an extension of their doctoral dissertation (Lee Ju-Ling).
All of the presentations involved advanced subject matter that drew very interesting questions from new angles. Many valuable and constructive comments and suggestions were given, and it was unfortunate that due to time constraints we were unable to discuss every topic in depth.
New young research fellows will join the Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia this fall, so we would like to plan and hold a second workshop later this year. (Masashi Haneda)
