As an attempt to bridge medical sciences with the humanities and social sciences, we are pleased to welcome Professor Eugene Raikhel from the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago. He has played a central role in building a global network of medical anthropology. He will speak about his pioneering activities, including his research on addiction and psychiatry in Russia and the launch of Somatosphere. In addition, young researchers and physicians from Japan active in interdisciplinary fields such as medical anthropology and transcultural psychiatry will give presentations, and we will hold a discussion on the direction for internationally developing the social scientific study of medicine.
