Why to join the Japan Studies Association as a JSA Member for $45?

  1. Membership supports JSA’s goals!

Goal One

To foster a deeper understanding of Japanese society and culture for all who are interested

​
Goal Four
To increase first-hand knowledge of Japan through designing workshops throughout Japan.

Goal Two

To build a nation-wide network of U.S. educators dedicated to enhancing the undergraduate college curriculum with study of Japan.
Goal Five

2. Your membership fee helps JSA to offer our activities at-cost or for free.
JSA's leadership works on a volunteer basis. Membership fees help JSA meet its annual budget with its varied and sometimes unexpected costs.
3. Membership is one indicator of JSA’s success in meeting its goals when we apply to our funders, such as the Japan Foundation and U.S. Department of Education Centers for East Asian Studies.
 As a JSA member you will receive timely information about workshop, webinar and grant-funded opportunities.
4. We want to give you access to the terrific speakers and panelists at the Jan. 4, 5, and 6, 2023 Conference.
