The Executive Committee of the Asian Studies Conference Japan (ASCJ)
invites proposals for panels, roundtables, and individual papers to be
presented at the 2022 Asian Studies Conference Japan. The conference will
be held online on Saturday & Sunday, July 2 & 3.

We were forced to cancel the 2020 and 2021 conferences due to the COVID-19
pandemic, and although conditions may improve by the summer of 2022, we
have decided that an live, online format only is the best option avoiding
the possibility for a third cancellation. (The format will not accept video
uploads in lieu of a live presentation.)


As in past years, all presentations are to be delivered in English.
Proposals may be submitted online beginning on October 1st, 2021.

The deadline for proposals is October 31st. Results will be announced by
late December. The forms are available at: https://ascjapan.org/conference/

Panels are proposed by individual scholars around a common subject. A

complete panel includes up to five participants (three or four paper
presenters and one or more chair/discussants). Panel proposals should
include a 250-word (maximum) abstract from each participant as well as a
250-word (maximum) statement that explains the session as a whole. Only
complete panels will be considered for acceptance. Roundtables offer an
opportunity for participants to discuss a specific theme, issue or
significant recent publication. A maximum of six active participants is

recommended. While a roundtable proposal will not be as detailed as a panel
proposal, it should explain fully the purpose, themes or issues, and scope
of the session. Individual papers give scholars an opportunity to
participate in the conference even if they are not able to put together a
complete panel. Papers may be co-authored. However, only the names of
registered participants will appear on the program.The Executive Committee
encourages members to submit proposals that, by

focusing on more than one region or by drawing on more than one discipline,
will attract a broad range of scholarly interest. Suggestions for
innovative alternatives to the panels, individual papers and roundtables
described above are also encouraged.


The Executive Committee also strongly encourages graduate student

participation and will give favorable consideration to panels that embed
students alongside more seasoned scholars. Since 2014 the ASCJ has awarded
the L.B. Grove Graduate Student Paper Prize. For details on this
competition please see the “Conference” section of the ASCJ website. To be
considered for this prize the student must be enrolled in a

degree program at a Japanese university and be accepted as a presenter at
the ASCJ 2022 Conference. The deadline for submission of the completed
paper is June 15, 2022. The winner will be announced at the time of the
keynote lecture. Everyone worldwide interested in Asian Studies is invited
to participate.


Since the 2022 conference will be entirely online, we will only provide
letters of invitation to panelists and presenters listed in the 2022 ASCJ
program who need them in order to specifically apply for registration fee
reimbursements. Please check our website for further information:
