Our co-researcher’s results ①
We are pleased to report our Portuguese co-researcher Cristiane Izumi Nakagawa’s excellent results. Ms. Nakagawa presented her dissertation defense at Sao Paolo University. The title of her dissertation in English is “Trauma and meaning, guilt and forgiveness, shame and honor in hibakushas: a study of testimonies and its paradoxes.” Nakagawa interviewed more than 200 atomic bomb survivors with the aim of analyzing their trauma and feelings of guilt in the context of Japanese culture. One of the judges suggested that she publish her dissertation in three languages: Portuguese, English, and Japanese.
