This joint conference comes at a critical moment in terms of finding new pathways for engagement among world anthropologies. JASCA is one of the largest anthropological associations in the world with over two thousand members yet the vast extent of its production of anthropological knowledge has remained relatively contained within the Japanese-language community. The conference aims to create new dialogue, connections and cross-fertilization of ideas for a more open network of anthropologists for the future.

We look forward to receiving a stream of thematic panel proposals for this important event.
