Victor Ferguson, JSPS Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Research Center for Advanced Science
and Technology, The University of Tokyo spoke for the “Science Dialogue” that took place at the Shizuoka Prefectural Nirayama Senior High School (31/5/2024).
“Science Dialogue” offers JSPS Overseas Fellows the unique opportunities to volunteer to give lectures in English on their research work at Japanese high schools in the vicinity of their host institutes. The aim of the lectures is to stimulate the young students’ interest in research and deepen their understanding from a global point of view through interacting with Fellows. As for the Fellows, the participation in the program will be an enjoyable opportunity to communicate with the local community and strengthen their ties with Japan.
Dr. Ferguson gave a lecture titled “Economic Interdependence and Power in World Politics” to around 40 first and second year students, which was followed by an active participation from the students during the Q&A session.
