================================================================= Ars Vivendi E-mail Magazine No.11 (October 7, 2009) ================================================================= We, Global COE Program Ars Vivendi, would like to let you know the following two news. First, we have been making an English-version page of People with Disabilities and Higher Education. http://www.arsvi.com/d/e20-e.htm There are more than 10 graduate students with disabilities at our graduate school, such as ones with visual disabilities and ones who use wheelchairs. They have been conducting research actively. The supports for their learning and research are realistic challenges for us. Last year we published Techniques of Support for Students with Visual Disabilities in which our graduate students and others wrote about the framework of providing textual information for people with disabilities. http://www.arsvi.com/b2000/0902as-e.htm cf. http://www.arsvi.com/ts2000/20090926-e.htm Second, we will have Special Public Opening Symposium "After Metahistory: Lecture on Postmodernism by Professor Hayden WHITE" with Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences and Institute of Human Sciences at Toyo University on October 22. http://www.arsvi.com/a/20091022-e.htm *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.
