- Waseda University English Language Podcast
-
Waseda University launched its first ever English-language academic podcast on November 5, 2024.
‟Rigorous Research, Real Impact” is available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and YouTube, with a new episode uploaded every two weeks.
For the newly launched “Rigorous Research, Real Impact” English language podcast series, seven knowledgeable Waseda researchers active in the fields of the social sciences and the humanities casually converse with the MC about their recent, rigorously conducted research, the positive impact it has on society, and their thoughts on working in Japan at Waseda in short 15 to 30 minute episodes.
It’s a perfect choice for listeners with a strong desire to learn, including current university students considering further study in graduate school, researchers looking for their next collaborative project, or even those considering working for a university that stresses the importance of interdisciplinary approaches.
