Message to Potential Candidates to Ogawa Seminar:
My name is Shinoka Suzuki and I have been a member of the Ogawa Seminar since April 2021. Currently, I am doing research in the field of educational development for the Latin American region.
When I was an undergraduate, I majored in peacebuilding in particular. However, through my exchange program in Mexico and volunteer work in India and Vietnam, I became interested in the issue of educational disparity, and decided to enter GSICS and belong to the Ogawa Seminar.
Ogawa seminar students come from various countries, so it is a wonderful opportunity to interact with people who have different backgrounds. The Ogawa seminar has a strong community of seminar students and alumni, and we can listen to the stories of people who are currently working in international organizations close at hand. The seminar students are not only enthusiastic about their research, but also have solid career plans, which gives me a lot of stimulation every day.
I think this is a great seminar for those who are interested in educational development and those who want to work for an international organization. I am looking forward to meeting you all.
