On June 21, 2017, a research presentation meeting with overseas university post-doctorates who have been accepted as visiting researchers and Ph.D. students was held at the University of Tokyo Institute for Advanced Studies on Asia (the Tokyo base of GHC). This meeting is generally held biannually, in the spring and autumn, as an opportunity for exchanges between young overseas researchers accepted by Professor Haneda and junior members of GHC. During this meeting, reports were given by the following four researchers under the titles shown below.

∙ David Boyd (PhD student, Princeton University, USA), "Bundan Babylone"

∙ Pierre-Emmanuel Bachelet (PhD student, Lyons Institute of East Asian Studies, France), "Rethinking the Southeast Asian Nihonmachi: The Japanese in 17th century Dai Viêt"

∙ Steffen Rimner (PD, International Institute for Asian Studies, The Netherlands), "From Escalation to Establishment: The Asian Invention of Global Drug Control"

∙ Claire Cooper (PhD student, Princeton University, USA), "Kara-kōmō (唐紅毛): Re-emplacing the Chinese into Early Modern Japanese Visual and Textual Conceptions of 'Holland'"

The three reporters other than Mr. Rimner, who has already completed his doctoral dissertation and spoke about his plans for publishing, are all in the process of preparing their doctoral dissertations and gave frank explanations of the matters they wish to clarify and progress reports on the current status of their research. The research being conducted by all four reporters contains novel content related to Japan. In addition to the question and answer sessions from the viewpoints of global history, a keen exchange of views and information took place among the more than 15 young researchers present.
