Last week I had the chance to talk about Siberian #wildfires at #Hokkaido University's Arctic Research Center! 🔥❄️ One aim for my stay in #Sapporo is increasing collaboration of Japanese and German high latitudes research, and I'm very grateful for this opportunity - already made some new connections!
Today was an intense class day about the Ainu's never-ending struggle for recognition as an original people. It is a very sensitive topic and it is impossible not to draw parallels with what is happening here in Brazil in relation to the gigantic setback that is being done to indigenous peoples. #ainu#hokkaido#japan#anthropology@anthropology
