Conferences
JSA conferences are a key way JSA members keep in touch with the latest developments in Japan studies through interacting with their peers. They offer a great opportunity for networking, expanding and deepening one's knowledge of his or her chosen field of study, and discovering new, interesting areas of Japanese study.
JSA Annual Conference
The conference offers the opportunity for JSA members to meet yearly, maintain their Japan‑related ties and have an opportunity to share their achievements by reading papers and attending sessions. They also discuss their accomplishments and keep up with current developments in Japan studies. Selected papers presented at the JSA conference are referenced and published in the annual JSA journal.
