2. Methods of paragraph writing
In the second half of the event, participants are invited to bring the introductions of their own papers. We will analyze them from the perspective of the two topics above, aiming to provide insights useful for your future writing.
Participation Fee: Free
Eligibility: Graduate students at the UTokyo specializing in the humanities(literature, philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, art studies, history, etc.)
