================================================================= Ars Vivendi E-mail Magazine No.5 (July 24, 2009) ================================================================= We, Global COE Program Ars Vivendi of Ritsumeikan University, have two news to let you know about our program. First, we had a workshop on "Direct Payment" with Dr. Simon Prideaux from University of Leeds. http://www.arsvi.com/a/20090714e.htm We will post Prof. Tateiwa's report at this workshop and memorandum on direct payment on our website soon and will let you know when it is ready. Second, we have had Mr.Zachary Beckstead through the JSPS Summer Program since June 23, 2009. The following is his self-introduction. Zachary Beckstead is a doctoral candidate visiting from Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts. His Bacholers degree is from Brigham Young University and he received a masters degree from the University of West Georgia. His interests are in the history and philosophy of psychology and examining and investigating the potential of alternative approaches to psychology. His current research interests are in the meaning-making processes in visits to symbolic locations. These visits range from mundane visits and tourist acts to pilgrimages. These interests, a chance to visit Ritsumeikan University, and a grant from the National Science Foundation have brought him to Kyoto. He is also extremely happy visiting the Research Center Ars Vivendi of Ritsumeikan University and has enjoyed discussing many ideas with excellent scholars and hopes to continue further collaboration! We hereby attach his picture to this e-mail magazine. *Please click below for more detailed information about our program. http://www.arsvi.com/a/index.htm http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/acd/re/k-rsc/ars_vivendi/english.html We are eager to promote collaborative research projects with patients' advocacy groups, non-profit organizations, as well as domestic and international researchers, apply for competitive research grants and conduct research projects commissioned by governmental and private institutions.
