Report
On February 5th, 2025, CSEAS held a joint workshop with the Konstanz University of Applied Sciences (HTWG Konstanz), Germany, entitled “Graduate Student Workshop on Southeast Asia” at the Research Commons. The workshop aimed to foster deeper exchanges and share research between graduate students from the International Management Asia-Europe program of HTWG Konstanz and the Division of Southeast Asian Area Studies, Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies (ASAFAS), Kyoto University.
The workshop began with lectures from faculty members of both CSEAS and HTWG Konstanz. Participants were then divided into three groups for group work. During the group work, ASAFAS students presented their research themes, and there were lively discussions with HTWG students and other participants. A total of 27 participants from Kyoto and Germany attended the workshop. The group work session provided an opportunity to reflect on their research and deepen mutual understanding, making it a highly meaningful workshop.
