[SSJ: 9192] Routledge Handbook on Contemporary Japan

From: Hiroko Takeda
Date: 2015/11/18

Dear Colleagues,
Mark Williams and I, backed by an excellent editorial
board (see below), are going to edit a new Routledge
Handbook on Contemporary Japan. As part of the
editorial process, we are going to conduct online
surveys on the content of the Handbook. In this way, we
hope that the Handbook will be informed by the actual
needs of students and instructors engaging in Japanese
studies while the editorial process will become more
interactive and democratic. The list of contents will
be finalized by the editors and editorial board
following examination of the survey results. The
surveys will be open till the end of December.

Could we please ask you to complete the instructors
survey, which includes a call for proposals? Also, we
would be grateful if you could encourage your students
to participate. The survey will take only about 5
minutes and we do feel your views ad input are crucial
to accomplishing this project.
