Open access book studies research into Japanese society during the pandemic
How to do fieldwork during the pandemic? And how can students be involved as active researchers? The new open access publication Research into Japanese society: Reflections from three projects involving students as researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic (University of Vienna 2023) answers these questions. Co-edited by Antonia Miserka and Sebastian Polak-Rottmann, it collects three group projects from Sophia University, the University of Vienna and FU Berlin that involve students as researchers at different stages in their academic lives. The book also shows how research as a team had to be adjusted, but nevertheless could be conducted during the troubling circumstances of the pandemic.
The new publication Research into Japanese society: Reflections from three projects involving students as researchers during the COVID-19 pandemic (University of Vienna 2023), co-edited by Antonia Miserka and Sebastian Polak-Rottmann (DIJ Tokyo), collects three group projects from Sophia University, the University of Vienna and FU Berlin that involve students as researchers at different stages in their academic lives. In all three cases, students actively participated in gathering data for a group project and reflected on their experiences. The volume shows that students, rather than being mere receivers of knowledge, may also actively be part of the collaborative production of knowledge. It also demonstrates how research in a team can be conducted, albeit in an adjusted manner, during the pandemic. The fifteen contributions also include a conversation with John W. Traphagan (University of Texas at Austin) on his book Cosmopolitan Rurality, Depopulation, and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in 21st-Century Japan.
