The roundtable was moderated by Professor Misa Matsuda of Chuo University’s Academic Support Center Writing Lab. From the University of Tokyo, Professor Kazuyo Tsuchiya, Director of our writing center, participated alongside four other panelists: Associate Professor Yuko Ota, Head of the Academic Writing Program at Waseda University; Assistant Professor Norimichi Kobayashi of Aoyama Gakuin University’s Academic Writing Center; and Visiting Lecturer Tomomi Iino of Tsuda University’s Writing Center—five participants in total.
The discussion covered a broad range of topics, beginning with an introduction to each university’s writing center and the significance of writing support, and extending to the challenges posed by the rapid spread of generative AI.
