Dear colleagues,

I would like to draw your attention to the call for papers for the annual conference of the Nordic Association for the Study of Contemporary Japanese Society, which will convene in Helsinki in March next year. The format of this conference is very beneficial for those who look for feedback on their research from Japan specialists in various disciplines. The accepted papers are read beforehand by all participants and most of the conference is dedicated to discussion of the papers, both by selected discussants and by the other participants.

Best regards,

Dick Stegewerns
University of Oslo
