The Student Council is the executive of the Association. It is elected each year
for a term of one year. All students It establishes and staff a constitution (with the approval of the
Association members and the Dean). The Chair of the Council is responsible to
meet regularly with the Dean. The Treasurer is responsible for the Association’s
budget, in collaboration with the heads of any sub-committees, and is responsible
to meet regularly with the Officer Manager of LUC. The Academic Representative
sits on the Academic Board to represent the Association members.
In principle the Council is responsible for approving and monitoring the activities
of any Sub-Committees that require Association funds. They must establish
a mechanism to ensure that this is done in a fair and representative manner. The
heads of any such committees are ex officio members of the Council for as long
as their committee exists.

Office Manor, Room 1.1
email c.goto-jones@luc.leidenuniv.nl
Chris Goto-Jones is Dean of LUC The Hague and
Professor of Comparative Philosophy & Political Thought
at Leiden University. He was educated at Cambridge and
then (via Keio University, Tokyo) Oxford University, from
where he received his MPhil and PhD in Politics & International
Relations. He taught at a number of universities in the
UK, including SOAS, Oxford and Nottingham, before
coming to Leiden, where he held the chair in Modern Japan Studies before
being called to LUC. His research is concerned with modern political and
ethical thought, particularly as found in Japan & East Asia, but also with
finding ways to disrupt the ethnocentricism of conventional academic disciplines
that tend to marginalise or ignore these kinds of non-European traditions of
thought. In 2009 Chris received the VICI award from the NWO (Netherlands
Organisation for Scientific Research).
