RENKEI Blog
The below blogs were written by some of the participants and speakers of the RENKEI PAX workshops, that took place in September 2016 at Ritsumeikan University and August 2017 at the University of Liverpool. The blog posts share some of the insights and reflections participants had following their time together. We look forward to sharing more of the outputs of this collaboration as they further develop.
