2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
Projects are running smoothly: deadline should be met for the "British Romanticism in Asia" volume. A research trip to Oxford in March 2017 yielded important information for the monograph on "Chained Islands", which I am still writing. We have issued a "Call for Papers" for the Pacific Gateways conference: the deadline for proposals is in early May. I have been accepted to give a paper at the Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies conference in Toronto this October.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
I will complete the "British Romanticism in Asia" collection of essays and finish writing the "Chained Islands" monograph. I will organize an international conference at University of Tokyo titled "Pacific Gateways", which will be held in November 2017. I will use kaken funds for topics including purchasing essential supplies such as books and computer equipment, etc., inviting visiting speakers to campus, and attending international conferences.
