| 研究実績の概要 |
From April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, I have completed these goals for my Grants-in-Aid project:
- I revised a paper titled "Doing Bodhisattva’s Work: Charity, Class, and Selfhood of Petty Traders in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)" and submitted it to the Journal of Vietnamese Studies (Center for Southeast Asia Studies, University of California, Berkeley). In October 2020, this paper was published in the Journal of Vietnamese Studies,15(4),pp.4-32. I also submitted a paper titled "Buddhist Way of Old age and Women’s Lifecourse in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)" to The Australian Journal of Anthropology (Australian Anthropological Society). In November 2020, this paper was published in The Australian Journal of Anthropology 31(3),pp.319-332.
- In January 2021, I presented a paper titled "Journey in the Impure Land: Pilgrimage and Transcendence of old-age self of Vietnamese women" at the conference "Leisure Activities for Older Adults in Asia" (organised by the National University of Singapore).
- My paper titled "Journey in the Impure Land: Buddhist pilgrimage and old-age personhood in Vietnam" is currently under peer review for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology.
- I attended the 2021 Association for Asian Studies conference which took place online from March 21 to March 26 as an audience member. This conference had several panels of which topics were relevant to my research project, such as "Biopolitical Vietnam", "Engendering Buddhism: Non-Theravadin Buddhist women in Southeast Asia".

理由
My data collection process has been affected by the outbreak of Covid-19 which led to the cancellation of commercial flights between Japan and Vietnam since March 2020 until the present. I therefore have not been able to travel to Vietnam to do field research since March 2020. I have made use of the data I collected during my field research in 2019 and March 2020, as well as secondary data, to write papers which were published in 2020. However, there are many aspects that need further exploration in my data. When commercial flights between Vietnam and Japan resume I would like to go to Vietnam to continue my data collection.

| 今後の研究の推進方策 |
- I hope to do follow-up field research in Vietnam in July and August 2021, and in February and March 2022 if commercial flights between Vietnam and Japan resume.
- I plan to revise a paper titled "Journey in the Impure Land: Buddhist pilgrimage and old-age personhood in Vietnam" after receiving the peer review reports from the Journal of Cross-Cultural Gerontology.
- I plan to present my research findings at an international conference titled "Unsettling Peripheries" organised by The Australian Anthropological Society in December 2021 in Wellington, New Zealand.

| 次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
I was not able to travel to Vietnam for the two field-research trips which I had planned for FY2020 due to the cancellation of commercial flights between Vietnam and Japan as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
In 2021, if commercial flights resume between Japan and Vietnam, I will use the unspent fund of 2020 to pay for field research in Vietnam, and for hotel quarantine and PCR tests required when entering Vietnam and Japan.
