In spring, the Center of Gender Studies at ICU will commemorate its second year and the first students of the Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies (PGSS) will graduate in March, with many more interested students in line to take their place. All this is due not only to the passion and energy of the many lecturers and professors but also to the high quality and motivation of about thirty dedicated student staff members who have voluntarily organized reading groups and enthusiastically communicated with people from other countries.There cannot be many other university research centers which depends so much on the energy of students.

The second CGS International Workshop was held at ICU in the lingering heat of the Japanese summer from September 16 to 18. This year's sub-theme was “Gender Representation in Asia". We welcomed scholars and activists from all over Japan and many other Asian countries, including China, South Korea, the Phillipines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and India.

The First International Workshop by CGS is approaching on 25th Nov. Thirteen researchers are to convene from nine regions and nations which are Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia Philippine and Thailand and discuss on the theme “Human Security and Gender in Asia” for three days. The proceedings of this workshop will be published on the web and booklet at the beginning of March.
