To comment on the candidates work, we have invited Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor Ernils Larsson at Uppsala University.
The mid-term evaluation is organized in two parts and starts with a 2-hour public seminar, followed by a closed meeting.
The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the progress of the PhD project at a point when it is still possible to make small or substantial changes. In general, we want to know how the candidate is doing, how much work is done, and what is left.
About the PhD candidate and her research
I am a doctoral research fellow with an interdisciplinary focus on religion and education within Japan studies. My doctoral research project concerns how university staff in Japan warn students of considered religious recruitment in and around the campus area, specifically through the use of the 'cult' label.
My supervisors are Professor Aike Peter Rots and Assistant Professor Ioannis Gaitanidis, Chiba University.
