Daniel Pemberton. The Meditative Realism of Yasujiro Ozu

On the eve of the first International “Honors College Conference. Krasnoyarsk 2018” let us recall the most interesting presentations made at the section “Interdisciplinary Research in University Honors Colleges during the international conference “Prospect Svobodny 2018” in Krasnoyarsk.

In addition to the sessions organized by the institutes, the SibFU Honors College, a new educational space created in the Siberian Federal University in 2017, acted for the first time at the international conference “Prospect Svobodny”.

One of the main objectives of the session was to show how the skills acquired at Honors College are applied by students in various fields corresponding to their main specialty.

The work of the session was divided in two parts. In the first part, there were reports in Russian devoted to rhetoric, pedagogy, history of art, theory and practice of visual thinking, etc. In the second part, reports were prepared in English. To create a full-fledged bilingual environment at SibFU Honors College, certain areas are conducted in English language, so Russian students fluently spoke English at the event. In this part of the section, the discussion was also conducted in the form of a videoconference, since foreign students representing Lee Honors College of the Western Michigan University virtually joined the students and faculty of SibFU Honors College.

Participants welcomed the opportunity of both interdisciplinary scientific discourse and comparison of scientific methods applied to research at the Siberian Federal University and in leading foreign universities.
