Dear friends and colleagues,

We are happy to announce the formation and inaugural meeting of the Northeast Workshop in Japanese Politics (NEWJP). The goal of NEWJP is to bring together scholars and students of Japan's domestic politics, political economy, security, and foreign policy. We plan to convene annually or biannually in coming years to present new research projects, give and receive feedback, and cultivate an active and supportive community for those conducting research on Japanese politics.

Dartmouth College will host the inaugural meeting of NEWJP on August 26-27, 2019. The schedule of this workshop has been determined with an expectation that those attending the APSA Annual Meeting in Washington, DC (August 29 to September 1) will able to set aside a few additional days before the APSA conference to come to Dartmouth in Hanover, New Hampshire for intensive feedback and exchange.

Limited funding is available for domestic travel (e.g., between DC and Hanover), particularly for students and early-career researchers.

If you are interested in presenting your work at this inaugural meeting of NEWJP, please complete the following form by the deadline (May 31, 2019).
