Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:

Hello, all potential candidates for Professor Ogawa’s seminar. My name is Noa Yokogawa. I joined this seminar in April 2023. As an undergraduate student, I conducted fieldwork in Indonesia, which sparked my interest in the educational disparity between regions and socioeconomic status. Therefore, I joined this seminar to gain deep understanding about these topics. In the Ogawa seminar, you can brush up on not only academic knowledge, but also practical skills. You can have a chance to conduct internships in international organizations and government agencies in developing countries. For me, the strongest point of this seminar is people’s connection. Although I spent only a year in this seminar, I have already met incredible seniors who have become real role models for me. My collages are also so important for me now. I can share my life goals with them and work together toward each one’s goal. I strongly believe that Ogawa seminar would be the best place for those who want to work in international organizations and in the area of educational development.
