12/6 (Mon) - 7(Tue): Interview with Prof. Samuels / Shibayama-san / Tennis

12/6 (Mon)

I had an interview with Prof. Richard Samuels (MIT). He gave me valuable comments on my research framework (In particular, he advised me to use "political actors" or "political innovation" in that) and fundamental perspectives for Japanese society and politics.

Then, I conducted QDA of JDA search results #US3. It’s a part of the white paper on gender equality.

In the evening, I had a super-fun online talk with Shibayama-sensei (Tohoku Univ.).


12/7 (Tue)

I considered questions to the interview with Katharine Starr. Then, I played tennis with Japanese friends and had lunch with Reischauer Post-docs. After that, I went to my apartment to take shower and worked there. I sent questions and materials to Katharine Starr and I conducted QDA of JDA search results #US4. It’s presentation slides of MILT about road revitalization (“道路啓開”).
