It&#8217;s a panel session, chaired by Yuko Tsuchiya of Hiroshima University of Economics. The speakers are John Hartley of Queensland University of Technology, Masaaki Ito of Aichishukutoku University, Akiko Ogawa of Aichishukutoku University and Kiyoko Toriumi of University of Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>For updates about Mell Expo, do follow <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/shinkeguri\">Shin Mizukoshi<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/kokiastream\">Akiko Ogawa<\/a> on Twitter.
