This activity is consistent with the vision and development strategy of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities until 2020, which is that research activities are considered the main pillar to promote and orient the school to become a research university.
The 2015 series of talks will include 5 main talks, taking place from May 2015 to January 2016.
Each seminar will have 2 reports focusing on the following specific contents:
-New Approaches in Asian Studies;
- Applying corpus linguistics to teaching and learning Asian languages;
- Traditional cultural and religious characteristics of Japan and other Asian countries - their influence on modern life in these countries and the Asian region;
- Japan's role in the development of new Asia;
- New findings in research on Japan and Asian countries;
- Research contemporary literary trends in Japan and other Asian countries.
This series of talks aims to:
- Gathering participants from different majors of the Faculty of Oriental Studies such as: Chinese Studies, Korean Studies, Japanese Studies, Indian Studies, Southeast Asian Studies as well as other majors such as: Economics, History, Politics, Languages, International Relations... to approach issues from many research fields, to clarify questions raised by young lecturers.
- Expand the network of young researchers studying Japanese studies as well as Oriental studies.
- To clarify the role and position of Japan in the context of current political and international relations in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia.
The Faculty of Oriental Studies has many advantages due to its regional and inter-regional characteristics as well as its high multi- and interdisciplinary nature. Moreover, most of the lecturers have been trained in many different countries, so they can share with each other research methods and theories related to their majors and other majors. Through seminars, young lecturers will have more opportunities to report, collect research information, expand their academic network as well as improve their debating ability and interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach.
The first seminar of the series of seminars "New studies on Japan and Asia" in 2015 took place on May 23, 2015. MSc. Ho Thi Thanh (Department of Southeast Asia) presented a report on "THE ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY IN PROMOTING DEMOCRATIC REFORMS IN INDONESIA - FROM 1998 TO PRESENT". The author assessed that the activities of civil society organizations have played an important role in promoting the development of democratization in Indonesia over the past half century. Many civil society organizations have conducted on-the-ground monitoring, mobilized people to raise awareness, and put pressure on the government to change related policies, but these activities have encountered many obstacles from government officials, collusion between powerful groups, and social habits. The report topic is assessed by Associate Professor, Dr. Ngo Van Doanh (Institute of Southeast Asian Studies) as one of the scientific issues that is both fundamental and topical. The experiences and lessons learned from the formation and operation of civil society organizations and their role in promoting democratic reform in Indonesia from 1998 to the present are certainly meaningful to Vietnam in the current period of building a rich, democratic, and civilized country.
MSc. Ho Thi Thanh reports at the Seminar
TS. Nguyen Tran Tien reported on the topic "National liberation movement in India: SubhasChandra Bose and the path of following Japan to save the nation".
With more than 20 pages, Dr. Nguyen Tran Tien has quite successfully outlined the process of the Indian people's struggle against British colonialism. In particular, on the common background of that national liberation movement, the appearance of Subhas Chandra Bose and the path of following Japan to save the country that he proposed and implemented are depicted quite clearly by the author through the collection and processing of information from many different sources. It can be said that the activities of Subhas Chandra Bose are presented quite vividly and specifically, helping to make the overall picture of the Indian national movement more colorful and harmonious. Associate Professor, Dr. Van Ngoc Thanh (Hanoi National University of Education) commented that the studies on Subhas Chandra Bose and the idea of relying on Japan to save the country that Dr. Nguyen Tran Tien mentioned are important suggestions in understanding the national liberation movement in Asia during World War II. At the same time, it also helps us have the conditions to have a more thorough understanding of the Dong Du movement in Vietnam.
The two presentations received many questions and shares from the large number of attendees.
The second Dialogue is scheduled to be held on July 18, 2015.
