ILCAA signed an agreement on cross-appointment with Slavic Eurasian Research Center, Hokkaido University, and Professor N. NAGANAWA became a stuff of ILCAA.

ILCAA has concluded an agreement on cross-appointment with the Slavic Eurasian Research Center (SRC), Hokkaido University. “Cross-appointment” is a system whereby a researcher or other person signs an employment contract with more than one organization, such as a university, and engages in research, education, or other work at each organization.
From October 1, 2021, Professor Hidemitsu KUROKI at ILCAA and Professor Nobuhiro NAGANAWA at SRC (Islam in the Former Soviet Union, Modern Russian History) have become cross-appointed faculty members and conduct education and research activities at both universities. Professor KUROKI will be a member of both universities.
Professor KUROKI specializes in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, and is expected to contribute to Islamic studies in the Slavic Eurasian region and to analyze international politics by linking the Middle East and Russia from a new perspective. Professor NAGANAWA is also expected to contribute to the field of Islamic studies at ILCAA by adding knowledge on Slavic Eurasian studies.
