Laboratory Introduction
In our laboratory, we are considering rural survival strategies from various perspectives, such as grass cutter animals, graves, and board games. I focused on “wild vegetables,” one of the local resources. I explored the state of practice of collection – preparation – cooking for each wild vegetable, and the route of succession, “who handed it down from whom? There were many emotions and pleasures, such as the moment when quantitative analysis yielded results, and the moment when I cooked and tasted the wild vegetable dishes taught to me by the local people. Graduate school classes are often conducted in small groups, and through discussions, students can broaden their perspectives on their interests. Although it can be painful at times, I believe that graduate school is a place where you can explore while having fun. (Tomomi Kameyama, Alumna of the Department of Regional Development Studies)
