Annual Reconciliation Studies Week (at the end of February)

2025 Workshop with Professor Carol Gluck(Memory – History – Reconciliation)

The Reconciliation Studies as Leading Program
Exploring International Reconciliation Studies based On Universal Values and Collective Memory

[Date] February 28 (Friday) and March 1 (Saturday) in JST
[Format] Hybrid / [The Meeting Venue] The University of Osaka (Suita Campus)

The Philosophy and Psychology Group invites Professor Carol Gluck (George Sansom Professor Emerita of History at Columbia University and the winner of the NIHU International Prize in Japanese Studies 2024) who thematized the “memory” that had surged in the age of globalization during the late 1990s. We organize a workshop with Professor Gluck intended for the young scholars of the Philosophy and Psychology group. Building upon methodologies and concepts that have been discussed in a series of our group sessions and workshops, combined with the knowledge from the field of history by Professor Gluck, the workshop aims to explore various ways to approach the Reconciliation Studies as the new intellectual field. Moreover, we expect a guidance from Professor Gluck as to how the project can move forward in anticipation of publishing an edited book.
