The Association of Global Studies
The Association of Global Studies, Doshisha University comprises of faculty members and students of the Graduate School of Global Studies. Its annual conference consists of three parts: individual presentations given mainly by Doctoral Program students, poster sessions given mainly by Master’s Program students, and the workshop-style roundtable for free discussion. Students are encouraged to present their research progress at the conference in preparation for writing their Doctoral dissertation or Master’s thesis. The Association of Global Studies also annually publishes the graduate school’s bulletin Journal of Global Studies, and the journal RONDO.

RONDO
RONDO means “circle” in Esperanto. RONDO was launched in 2017 as the second bulletin of GSGS in accordance with Journal of Global Studies’s shift to electronic version. While Journal of Global Studies maintains its policy as a peer-reviewed journal, RONDO is positioned between academism and journalism, covering a variety of written pieces in addition to main features such as essays, lecture records, columns, book reviews, film reviews, field reports, and reports by faculty on sabbatical leave and international students. Introducing everyday experiences that inspire research ideas and various efforts that cannot be expressed in the form of academic paper, the journal is expected to serve as a medium that connects the faculty and students of the Graduate School of Global Studies, and the broader society surrounding the university.
