Dear friends,

   The deadline for submissions for the AJJ conference at Tohoku University has been extended until 12 noon on Sunday, November 3.

We welcome proposals on the conference theme of "Community, Collaboration and Co-production", or any other theme relevant to the anthropology of Japan.

For junior scholars - please note that AJJ offers the biggest prize of any academic conference in Japan for an untenured researcher: the HARUMI BEFU PRIZE, worth ¥250,000, a framed certificate, and a big boost to your CV.

    AJJ also offers the MARK BOOKMAN PRIZE, worth ¥50,000, a framed certificate and a big boost to your CV, for the best presentation by an emerging scholar on a topic relating to people with disabilities or other marginalized minority groups in Japan.

   For details of the two prizes, click here:

   AJJ is a fairly small, informal organization, and our conferences are a good opportunity for junior scholars to try out their presentation skills in a friendly, constructive environment.
