Osaka University & University of Toronto Graduate Student Workshop
Please join us for a joint graduate student workshop between Osaka University’s RESPECT program, the Asian Institute and the Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto. This workshop puts Japanese conceptions of kyosei (coexistence) in conversation with forms of Canadian multiculturalism. We aim to consider how conceptions of living with or managing difference might learn from each other, revealing occlusions, invisibilities, and the ways that particular histories shape these contemporary conceptions. We ask: On what grounds do we begin to compare these forms of diversity? What similarities, incommensurabilities, connections or divergences emerge, and what do they tell us about our own presumptions of living with, and understanding, difference?
Organizers: Brenton Buchanan, Bronwyn Frey, Nicholas Feinig & Johanna Pokorny
