Osaka University RESPECT Summer School 2016
The Osaka University RESPECT (Revitalizing And Enriching Society Through Pluralism, Equity And Cultural Transformation) Summer School 2016 in Multicultural Studies at the University of Toronto is designed to give Japanese graduate students a critical first-hand experience with multiculturalism in Canada: both its possibilities and challenges.
Students from Osaka University will present their research findings from this intensive program alongside graduate students at the University of Toronto, who will elaborate on many dimensions of this central theme. This joint graduate student workshop is an exciting opportunity for cross-cultural communication and the development of comparative and critically nuanced understandings of this broad and rich concept.
