A dozen international scholars from Harvard, Columbia, Wisconsin-Madison, Michigan-Ann Arbor, Toronto, Doshisha, and Niigata universities presented their insightful works, which were based on deep archival research, at the two-day conference. As of the end of 2015, the Department of History has organized about twenty-six international conferences, including “Family Tree of Pre-Modern East Asian History and the Trends in the Pre-Modern Academia”, which was held in March of 2013 and “Transverseness of History and Culture”, which was held in June of 2015.
