The 7th SOKENDAI Award

SOKENDAI Award is founded in Academic Year 2018 to commend the students who have accomplished their outstanding research and have been conferred their degrees with the excellent doctoral thesis.

The following 3 recipients were selected for the 7th SOKENDAI Awards.

SHAN HEJUN

  • Department: Japanese Studies
  • Doctoral thesis: Transformation of Urban Space in Modern Qingdao: Continuity and Discontinuity of Japanese Elements
  • Comment:
    I am very honored to receive the SOKENDAI Award this time. Without the doctoral advisor and NICHIBUNKEN others professor's help, I would not have achieved such results. And because of the substantial research support system, such as The Short-Stay Study Abroad Program, we can carry out data collection and investigation more smoothly. I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to the support of SOKENDAI and NICHIBUNKEN. In the future, as a graduate of SOKENDAI, I'd like to continue to do my best to become a researcher with interdisciplinary and international characteristics.

    It is an honor to accept the 7th SOKENDAI Award this time. I wish to express gratitude to The Graduate University for Advanced Studies for providing me with the opportunity to study. I deeply appreciate Professor Masahiro Hiramoto. Furthermore, I learned a lot of things from his passionate leading, discussion, and advice. I am greatly grateful to Dr. Seiichiro Izawa for his research guidance and professional discussion. His accurate and appropriate comments have supported my studies. I am thankful to all the group members Ms. Jaseela Palassery Ithikkal, and Ms. Yuka Nakamura all encouraged me with helpful advice. Finally, I deeply appreciate my family for encouraging and supporting me. With this in mind, I will dedicate myself harder in the future.
