Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research project, we aimed to contribute for restructuring the study of geography and gender by presenting the Japanese researchers' papers on this sub-discipline and constructing global network.
We succesfully made the following efforts; 1) hosting a pre-conference at Nara Women's University at the time of Kyoto International Geographical Congress in 2013, collaborating with the gender and geography commission in Internnationa Geographical Union. 2) inviting the two leading feminist geographers (Dr. Diviya Tolia-Kelly and Prof. Doreen Massey and successfully creating the interactive space in Japanese geographers.
We published the proceedings in 2014 under the title of "Building Global Networks through　Local Sensitivities" compiling Japanese geographers contribution to Kyoto and Nara conference. We are editing the special issue on gender and geography in series B (English version) of Geographical Review of Japan which should be appeared in 2016.
