Purpose: Researchers in non-English-speaking countries today are increasingly expected to publish in English. However, publishing and presenting in English remains a big challenge for them. Moreover, as research environments in the humanities and social sciences become more challenging worldwide, developing international research communities is becoming even more important.
In conjunction with the HETSA–JSHET Joint Conference 2026 this September, we are pleased to invite two distinguished scholars from the History of Economic Thought Society of Australia (HETSA) to hold a seminar aimed at strengthening the ability of young Japanese researchers to communicate their research effectively in English.
HETSA members are also welcome to join this seminar. Through this event, we hope to provide a practical and encouraging environment in which early-career researchers can receive feedback and support for English presentations, at the same time promoting academic exchange between the two societies, particularly among younger scholars.
