<div style="text-align: justify;">Institute of Mediterranean and
Oriental Cultures (Polish Academy of Sciences) in conjunction with the
Interdepartmental Unit for Migration Research (University of Cardinal
Stefan Wyszynski in Warsaw) Institute of Sociology (Warsaw University)
and Kozminski University, is pleased to announce the call for papers for
the Researching Japan in Social Sciences & Humanities, an
international conference to be held at the University of Cardinal Stefan
Wyszynski in Warsaw -<strong> April 24-25, 2013</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">Economic and political changes in the
past two decades have triggered a reorganization of the world order,
what in consequence had also impact on the role and position of Japan on
an international scene and in particular in the region of Asia.
However, this conference shall prove that the country of Rising Sun and
its inhabitants is still an interesting and inspiring field of research,
where scholars from different scientific milieu can critically verify
their convictions and knowledge acquired at Western Universities. The
subject of this conference has not been limited to any particular issue
or problem, but rather inviting researchers from different disciplines,
yet whose attention is focused on broadly construed Japan, we hope for
creating a space (and a network) for the exchange of ideas,
perspectives, and analytical tools, a space where we can widen our
knowledge not only about the “Others” but also about ourselves and the
world.</div>
