| 研究実績の概要 |
The project has gotten off to an excellent start in this first year of the grant. During this year, I was able to collect a great deal of research materials and information in my research trip to the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Russia-Asia Collections. I was also able to make great strides in terms of writing up initial findings of this research, and presenting that information in academic conferences.
During this first year, I made three presentations, which has helped to bring more attention to my research. The first was at the annual conference of the World History Association in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 2018. The second presentation took place on the campus of Osaka University in January 2019, at the Asian Association of World Historians 4th Congress. In February 2019, I also made a presentation at Kansai Gaidai University's Intercultural Research Institute's Conference.
I also published my first journal article based on the research. “Russian Early Geographic Exploration and Encounters in the North Pacific” was published in the Journal of Inquiry and Research in March 2019.
In addition, I was able to complete, in March 2019, the final version of my first book connected with the project, which will be published in summer 2019 with Academica Press in Washington, DC. The book offers a comparative look at Russian colonialism in Central Asia and the North Pacific, in global historical context.
I also have a forthcoming chapter in an edited volume on internationalizing the modern Japanese history course, which will be published in spring of 2019.

1: 当初の計画以上に進展している
理由
This research has progressed very well in this first year. I have made great strides in terms of collecting information and making some initial findings connected to the research, which have been disseminated to the public already in the form of presentations and publications, some of which appeared in print already and others which will be in print later in calendar year 2019. I have been able to make a very efficient use of the funds thus far, and anticipate doing more of the same in the second year of the grant.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
Although a great deal of information has been collected in the first year of the grant, I would like to delve deeper into the subject matter, in order to explore more difficult-to-find research materials. For this reason, during the second year of the grant I plan to devote further effort towards more detailed research in libraries and archives. A main goal for this year will be to utilize the Hokkaido University's collections in their Slavic and Eurasian Center library, which is one of the best libraries in the world for this topic. For that reason, I plan to make travel to that library a priority for the second year of the grant. I will also continue to pursue an active publishing agenda during the year ahead. I have already received invitations to write two essays in the next year: one in an edited volume with a prestigious press and the other in an academic society's academic journal.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
For the new fiscal year, I plan to conduct further detailed research in libraries and archives, in order to utilize as many difficult-to-locate sources as possible. The most efficient way to do this is by spending a significant period of time in a research library which has these types of sources. Therefore, I will propose to conduct research at the Hokkaido University Slavic Research Center Library in Sapporo during the summer of 2019. This should provide me with a lot of opportunity to expand the scope of my project. In addition, I will also be ordering more materials (books, journal articles) which can be of use to my project. I also anticipate some costs associated with the publication of my book. I anticipate that the experience in Hokkaido in summer 2019 may lead to the necessity for a follow-up trip to there, or to other research libraries elsewhere in the world in the coming fiscal year, in order to further expand the scope and depth of the project. I also anticipate the need for better technological equipment, such as a document scanner and an updated computer/laptop, as well as other software to make field data collection easier.
