| Research Abstract |
This project had as its aim the investigation of various research centers in order to examine the state of international research on religion, and to promote such research. This investigation involved visiting research centers around the world to meet and discuss research on religion, and gather information through such contacts and through a survey. Other activities included participation in a panel at the American Academy of Religion in November 2003, and sharing our project results through activities at the Tokyo IAHR World Congress (March 2005).
As a result, our project members visited over 50 research centers in 19 countries. The results of these visits, along with the survey are posted on our internet HP(see www.nanzan-u.ac.jp/SHUBUNKEN/projects/) One characteristic of these visits was that they included visits and contacts in areas which have not received much attention in the past (e.g.Eastern Europe, South America, south Asia), which has broadened the international scope of our contacts for religious studies.
Finally, a workshop was held in January 2006 on "The Internationalization of Religious Studies : International Cooperation among Research Centers around the World," with representatives from Belgium, Estonia, Brazil, USA, and the American Academy of Religion.
