Calendar of Significant Events

The Calendar of Significant Events consists of activities taking place in the future. After an event occurs or it is no longer important, it is removed from the calendar. If the removed item represents a significant milestone, the event is moved to the History of Astrosociology section as a permanent entry.

While the calendar listed below corresponds most strongly to this website, everyone is encouraged to submit contributions for consideration as new entries in order to keep the astrosociological community as informed as possible.

Symposium at Meiji University

Tokyo, Japan

ARI Advisor Renato Rivera Rusca Invited Dr. Jim Pass and Christopher Hearsey to address the students and other attendees at Meiji University. Both have created Remote Presentations that include a slideshow, and both are privileged to participate.

The theme of the symposium is "Constructing the Future Society in Japan," which we argue must include a strong commitment to space exploration because astrosocial phenomena will increase their impact on society as history unfolds.

Presentation media will be available soon in the Virtual Library.
