Prof Kagami Haruya Presented at General Lecture 2019

 
Cultural Resource Studies is a comprehensive study of human culture and the development of new methods for the protection, maintenance and use of these cultures as a part of global cultural resources.
This was stated by Prof Kagami Haruya, cultural anthropologist and founder of Kanazawa University’s Cultural Resources Studies program, at the General Lecture of Japanese Language Education Study Program Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES), Tuesday (4/23).
