9/25 (Mon) - 11/19 (Sun): Busy with university duties and life / Printed manuscripts and cover arrive / Reschedule
Busy with lectures and meetings. I have six lectures per week: Information analysis exercise, Project(3rd year seminar) and Social Research, Disaster Prevention, graduation exercise(4th year seminar), and Data Science Exercise. However, I talked about the book in the lecture about Disaster Prevention, and Students gave me various comments. I tried to add a few to my JDA collection.
In October, I received the second printed manuscript from Kyoritsu Shuppan. I decided to make corrections and additions until January 10. The publication will be in early April. I have come up with the following points for revisions and additions.
Preface: Add personal thoughts and process.
The Great Kanto Earthquake: Add some information on the writings of Dr. Tanaka and Dr. Yoshida (Disaster Historian in Japan.)
Postwar reconstruction and economic growth: Add people's actual voices.
Postwar Disaster Prevention: Add my thoughts about the relationship with politics.
Reconsidering the Social Impact of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
Hiroki Azuma: Add some description about his new book.
Movies: adjust description in order of Sinking of Japan, Sin-Godzilla, Drive My Car.
Final thought: search in JDA and add references about dignity, happiness, and purpose in life.
Since the discussion is mild in general, I will add some discussion as much as possible.
In late October, I gave a guest lecture at the Graduate School of the University of Tokyo. While I was preparing, I found an old flyer for an architectural competition from my student days. In early November, I applied for my university's research grant with my colleagues. Also, I talked with some students about next year's project(3rd year seminar). I think I will have a good team. In mid-November, current 3rd-year students joined a town event in Tama Ward.
From the end of September to mid-November, I went to my son's school exhibition and sports event and my daughter's elementary school sports festival. In early October, I went to Okayama after my grandmother passed away.
