Miyagi Shiryō Net Goes to the US

A group of 5 historians from Miyagi Shiryō Net will participate in workshops on disaster and resilience at Drexel University, Philadelphia, and Ohio State University, Columbus, on 7th (Drexel) and 9th (Ohio State) of September.

One of the highlights of our presentations will be the paper presenting the preliminary findings of a group of clinical psychologists who have started a project to evaluate the psychosocial effects of the work of historians on preserving local heritage. The preliminary findings are exciting, and suggest that interdisciplinary co-operation of this kind can lead to discoveries significant to both sides, and  suggest new ways of looking at how professional scholars can more effectively use their expertise to help disaster recovery.

The members of our group and the titles of their presentations are as follows:

1) Time Matters: A Psychometrical Evaluation of the Effects of Salvaging Historical Heritage of Tsunami Survivors
KAMIYAMA Machiko (read by John Morris) 30 mins

2) Psychosocial Support and History:: Preserving Heritage, Preserving Communities SATŌ Daisuke, Associate Professor, Tōhoku University 20 mins

3) Preservation of Historical and Cultural Heritage by Local Government within the Area Affected by the Fukushima Nuclear Reactor Accident
