The Center is now recruiting non-degree (non-Ritsumeikan) students for the Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures Educational Program.
Non-Degree (Non-Ritsumeikan) Students
for the Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures Educational Program
The Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures Educational Program is designed to foster young researchers, who are expected to be future leaders of this research field. The Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures is recruiting non-degree (non-Ritsumeikan) students who can contribute to establishment of DH as a research field. By doing so, the Center hopes to pay its education and research outcomes back to the society.
The students are expected to complete the Educational Program in two years, but able to extend it to three years. While its graduate-level curriculum centers on Digital Humanities with its focus on mastering practical applications of advanced information technologies to the fields of the humanities, this interdisciplinary education program also expects young researchers to present their research at seminars, to participate in and/or present their papers at symposia and workshops. Upon completion of the Program, a certificate of completion in the Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures will be conferred.
The Center waits for professionals, such as curators currently working at museums and archaeological research institutes, who hope to lead their respective fields in the future

The 1st International Symposium on Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures
Since the start of our Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Global COE (Center of Excellence) Program “Digital Humanities Center for Japanese Arts and Cultures” at Ritsumeikan University in June 2007, we have been conducting education and research, aiming at creating a new type of the humanities that fully utilize information technologies so that we could bridge the gap between Japanese Studies in Japan and abroad, as well as lead the humanities in the future.
Welcoming distinguished scholars in various fields of digital humanities from all over the world as guest speakers, we sincerely hope that our 1st International Symposium on Digital Humanities for Japanese Arts and Cultures (DH-JAC2009) will provide us with a great opportunity not only to look back and reflect on our activities in the past two years, but also to find a path to take for the future of the Center. Please join us on this important occasion.
