Organized at the IEE-ULB by the Waseda Brussels Office, this interdisciplinary workshop (5-6\/03\/2024) brought together dozens of scholars from both Europe and Japan working on \u201cHate Speech\u201d and \u201cAbusive Language\u201d. Entitled \u201cHate Speech and Abusive Language: The Investigation of Verbal Violence, Regulation, and Education\u201c, the workshop was co-organized by the School of International Studies (SILS) and the Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies (GSICCS) at Waseda, and the Institut d\u2019\u00e9tudes europ\u00e9ennes (IEE) of the Universit\u00e9 libre de Bruxelles (ULB), with Professor Sylvain Detey (Waseda University \u2013 SILS) serving as its\u2019 main academic chair, alongside professor paul Bacon (Waseda \u2013 GSICCS & GSAPS) and Norimasa Morita (Waseda \u2013 GSICCS & SILS). Supported financially by Waseda and the Institut d\u2019\u00e9tudes europ\u00e9ennes, the workshop aimed, through a multiplicity of angles, to shed some light on the complexity of contemporary \u201cverbal violence\u201d and to offer some suggestions as to how to look for a solution to the problems it creates. It welcomed two dozen European and Japanese researchers from 5 disciplinary panels. Each of these panels unpacked current trends surrounding \u201cHate Speech and Abusive Language\u201d from a specific disciplinary perspective, including: (i) linguistic and education studies, (ii) political science, (iii) sociology, (iv) film studies, (v) media studies and international relations.

Thanks to the Waseda Brussels Office, established in April 2016 with the aim of raising Waseda University\u2019s profile in Europe and promote international research collaboration, this workshop was successful in several ways. First, it allowed many participants to meet for the first time and expand their scholarly network around common research themes (under the umbrella term of \u201cHate Speech\u201d and \u201cAbusive Language\u201d) and across disciplinary boundaries, especially between Waseda researchers and researchers at European institutions (ULB in Belgium, of course, but also, Polytechnique in France, Sienna in Italy, Southampton in the UK). Second, through the presentations, but also during the Q&A sessions as well as during the informal discussions held during the breaks, all participants were able to update their understanding and knowledge of contemporary issues across the world in a multidisciplinary perspective (e.g. South America, UK, China, France, Italy, Belgium, EU, Japan). Third, with participants and attendees including all categories of researchers (including graduate students), it fostered an open and rich dialogue across fields and generations. Finally, the workshop, which was part of the EU-Japan Forum 2024, enhanced the visibility of Waseda\u2019s research activity in Europe, through promotional announcements.<\/p>\n

This workshop could not have been organized without the dedication and efficiency of the Organizing Committee of the Waseda Brussels Office at ULB, namely Jean-Louis Moortgat and Frederik Ponjaert. Their contribution to the success of the workshop has been pivotal.<\/p>\n
