Third “Voices” Booklet Now Online and In Print

The articles uploaded on the Sylff website in 2013 have been compiled into the February 2014 edition of Voices from the Sylff Community. The booklet contains 16 articles on such topics as democratic governance, international relations, war and history, and musical expression, representing the diverse and global nature of the Sylff community. The Tokyo Foundation is pleased to have received many contributions from fellows around the world last year.

One feature of Voices 2014 is a section on SRA & SLI. More than two years have passed since Sylff Research Abroad (SRA) was re-launched in 2011 to support the activities of doctoral candidates, and it is now bearing fruit, as demonstrated by the many articles based on SRA research in this edition. There are also two pages of photos at the back of the booklet featuring the many outstanding fellows whom members of the Tokyo Foundation had the pleasure of meeting in 2013.

The booklet can also be downloaded as a PDF file here.

We Want to Hear Your “Voice”

We are always eager to receive YOUR contributions to the Sylff site. Reports of your academic or social action achievements should be submitted to the Tokyo Foundation at leadership[at]tkfd.or.jp.
