[平和研究所]福島県フィールドトリップ説明会開催のご案内（2023年9月19日）

ICU平和研究所（PRI）では、秋季休暇中（11月17日～19日）に福島県へのフィールドトリップ「Regeneration and Conflict Transformation: Nuclear Power in Fukushima」開催を予定しております。以下の通りご案内させていただきます。

Background

The PRI has conducted an annual research field trip to bring ICU students into contact with people who can engage them in productive dialogue about peace-and-conflict-related issues. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, field trips were made to distant locations including Europe, Okinawa and South Korea. In 2022 with the pandemic coming under control, the PRI reintroduced the field trip in a limited form, as part of its annual research and peacebuilding activities. The PRI conducted a domestic field trip to the areas of Fukushima affected by the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear disaster. The field trip was successful as a means of introducing ICU students (particularly international students) to the challenges of regeneration in the former disaster area.

PRI will make a similar field trip in November 2023. Objectives will include further developing regeneration and peacebuilding relationships between ICU and Tōhoku region.

Objectives
The project will facilitate ICU students interested in Peace Studies and related fields (Politics and International Relations, Environmental Studies, Natural Sciences, Humanities, Sociology, Media and Communication, and others) to visit towns in the Fukushima former nuclear exclusion zone and to meet residents, reconstruction workers, activists, artists, etc. Students will use their firsthand experiences of observations and discussions with Fukushima residents and workers to deepen and reassess their understanding on a range of environmental and political issues including nuclear fission power; earthquake and natural disaster responses; national Japanese government policy; agriculture, fisheries, and food safety; and education (Dunning, 2008; Yergin, 2012).
