Research Objectives: The goal of sub-project VI is to cultivate young talents under the theme of join-project, “Conflict, Justice, and Decolonization,” by calling for graduate students/researchers to join the center’s research project, form a research group, and develop the online publication platform. Through publication and platform implementation, the sub-project prepares graduate students with training and education in academic research, publishing, NGO organizations, social intervention and other related fields that they may engage in the future. The sub-project has continued to call for and carry out several research groups in the past few years. Through the “CJD graduate students publication platform,” the PhD students have organized an editorial team and completed online and print publications. Works including conceiving the research topic, writing call-for-paper, releasing news on domestic and foreign websites, reviewing submissions, publication layout, contacting printing companies, and art design are led by the graduate students. Teachers only assist and provide consultation. This year, the sub-project has further included photographing, documentary reports and other forms of submissions to the online platform to familiarize the students with the editing and operations of displaying content through digital audio-visual forms. In general, this sub-project allows students to implement works related to academic publishing and also exposes them to professional skills in the fields of culture, media, organizational work and publicity.
