An Interview with Professor Shoichiro Hara to Commemorate his Retirement
Interviewer: Hiroki Baba (Program-specific Assistant Professor, CSEAS / Hakubi Center, Kyoto University)
Leveraging an informatics approach spanning medical informatics, library informatics, humanities computing, and area informatics, Professor Shoichiro Hara has pioneered new academic fields and accumulated numerous achievements during his long career, whether at the National Institute of Informatics (formerly the National Center for Science Information Systems), the National Institute of Japanese Literature, or Kyoto University’s Center for Integrated Area Studies and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies. We asked him to review his research and practice and to offer his perspective on the future of humanities–informatics collaboration as well as what is needed to advance collaboration between area studies and informatics.
