- Education
For Beyond Japan's final episode, Oliver is joined by Aike Rots, Associate Professor of Japan Studies at the University of Oslo, to discuss the agency of animals in influencing human society and cultures. Aike’s collaborative project, Whales of Power, explores how whales have affected ritual practices in coastal communities of East Asia and how those practices have adapted and changed in the 21st century.
Follow the Whales of Power project on Twitter and via their website.
A final message from Oliver:
"After 85 episodes, Beyond Japan now draws to a close as I turn my attention to my PhD research. I would like to thank all the guests who have shared their research with us and to you the listeners who have supported this exciting new medium for sharing academia with the wider world. I intend to return to academic podcasting again in the near future – you can follow my blog at olivermoxham.wordpress.com for updates on that.
For now, enjoy revisiting our back catalogue. As always, thank you for listening."
