However, there are limited studies to explore what they are experienced in their classes, academic communities, or daily lives. Therefore, the seminar would be an excellent opportunity to share the recent studies about academics in Japanese universities focusing on junior scholars who have different backgrounds such as gender, foreignness, or international academic and educational career. Through the seminar, we will try to understand who they are and which challenges they face and find some potential ways to embrace them in Japanese universities with the perspective of diversity beyond the policy initiatives. Dr. Jongsung Kim as an international faculty member will present his experiences in the class with Japanese students based on his self-study. Dr. Yusuke Sakurai will share his research about the academic development of junior international academics working in Japanese universities. Dr. Yangson Kim and Dr. Machi Sato will discuss the experiences and challenges of junior female academics in Japanese universities.<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0 Program<br \/>\n14:00-14:05\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Introduction\u00a0 <strong>\u00a0<em>Yangson Kim<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>14:05-14:30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Korean Stranger in a Japanese Classroom: Being a Better Teacher Educator in a Foreign Country<br \/>\n<em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Jongsung Kim (Hiroshima University)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>14:30-14:55\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Japanese academia for the scholarly development of foreign early career researchers<br \/>\n<em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <strong>\u00a0Yusuke Sakurai (Ochanomizu University) and Shannon M<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>ason<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>14:55-15:20\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Exploring academics in socio-cultural contexts: focusing on experiences and challenges of junior female academics (JFAs) in Japanese universities<br \/>\n<em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<strong> \u00a0Yangson Kim (Hiroshima University) and Machi Sato (Kyoto University)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>15:20-16:00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Discussion<\/p>\n<p>\u25a0Note<br \/>\n\u30fbThis open seminar is being held with the research grant from JSPS (20K13906: PI-Yangson Kim, Toward a dynamic academic society: Integrating a new academic generation in Japan).<br \/>\n\u30fbParticipation fee is free (maximum number: 50)<br \/>\n\u30fbThis seminar will be held online (through Zoom) .
