“DEI Community” is a platform designed to share the voices of people from diverse backgrounds, encouraging mutual exchange, the development of networks, and the creation of new connections within the university community.
We aim to build an organization where people from different backgrounds can listen to one another, deepen mutual understanding, and work together in collaboration. We also welcome contributions introducing your own experiences and community activities.
We are always open to submissions of your stories or activity reports.

DEI Lounge is a space for learning and dialogue that seeks to overcome barriers related to gender, sexuality, disability, race, and ethnicity, and to foster a society in which everyone is respected and valued.
The Lounge is open to all students, faculty, and staff who are interested in DEI, and everyone is welcome to participate.
Among the female professors of Tohoku University, those who have demonstrated outstanding academic achievement and leadership are recognized as “Sawayanagi Fellows.”
Sawayanagi Fellows actively serve as mentors and role models for early-career female researchers, participating in activities such as lunch meetings and networking events.
My Story/Our Story *Japanese only
When facing challenges, we often find encouragement and strength in hearing how others have overcome similar experiences.How do researchers continue their academic work while raising children? Were there concerns about taking parental leave? What strategies help expand research networks? How have award-winning researchers advanced their work and careers?
This section shares such personal stories and reflections to inspire and support our community.
