Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:
Hello, my name is Emika Nishikawa, and. I’m PhD student in GSICS. When I was a college student, I met a Nepalese woman with a disability who was actively working to empower people with disabilities. This experinece made me have interest in education development. Professor Ogawa is a enthusiastic teacher who provides his students with valuable guidances. And, in Ogawa seminar, students can learn not only knowledge about education development and economics, but also the way of practice in a stimulating environment.
