Faculty Spotlights
【GSAPS Faculty=Expertise × Humanism】
At the Waseda University Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies (GSAPS), students are taught by diverse faculty members with high-level research skills and practical abilities, who conduct cutting-edge research in their field, and who have real world experience, such as in international institutions-like the United Nations, the World Bank, and UNICEF-in diplomacy, and in the mass media.
In this edition of Faculty Spotlights, we take a look at the attractive learning experience and the three specializations-‘Area Studies’, ‘International Relations’ and ‘International Development/Policy Studies’-offered by GSAPS through the voices of its teaching staff and their unique expertise and rich humanism cultivated from various backgrounds.
