This is because we\u2019re afraid of the covid-19, so we\u2019re social distancing. But it\u2019s not only at the International Research Center for Japanese Studies; I guess the situation is no different at other research institutions, or even in private offices.<\/p>\r\n<p>And I\u2019m sure that every organization has noticed this, but online research meetings and conferences cost relatively little. You don\u2019t have to pay for travel, accommodation, or a venue. Perhaps the financial authorities of the post-Covid-19 era will come after us, pressing us not to hold any more research meetings that involve gathering people together. This may become the start of future budget cuts.<\/p>\r\n<p>In order to preserve face-to-face meetings, we need to arm ourselves with theoretical arguments. But it\u2019s hard to argue that chats and confidential talks other than debates are important, and it\u2019s difficult to put such arguments down on paper. I\u2019m at a loss; is there any good way to do this?<\/p>\r\n<div id=\"attachment_742\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-742\" src=\"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/001-700x441.jpg\" alt=\"\u53ce\u9332\u98a8\u666f\" width=\"700\" height=\"441\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/001-700x441.jpg 700w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/001-768x484.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/001-245x154.jpg 245w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/001-490x309.jpg 490w, https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/nichibun_nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/001.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-742\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recording Professor Hosokawa Sh\u016bhei\u2019s Public Farewell Lecture (February 2021).<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":752,"template":"","message_category":[23],"class_list":["post-747","messages","type-messages","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","message_category-serialization-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/messages\/747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/messages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/messages"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"message_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsletter.nichibun.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/message_category?post=747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
