This work shop will be based on "Mutual Exchange of Young Scholars in Integrated Area Studies by Using the Field Station" organized by Center for Southeast Asian Studies and the Keiji Field Stations, Kyoto University.
This workshop is a part of the program “Mutual Exchange of Young Scholars in Integrated Area Studies by Using Field Stations” funded by JSPS, and jointly organized with the G-COE program as the “Junior Scholar’s Research and Training” project. The workshop was held on 3-4 March with 14 invited discussants from the field stations in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Indonesia, and India.
The academic backgrounds of participants included political science, cultural anthropology, forestry, agriculture, and we discussed topics from each field in order to try to demonstrate future possibilities for inter-disciplinary area studies. After this program was finished, we published the results of the workshop as proceedings under the same title from the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University.
