 Call for Papers: ASCJ 2024



Main body

The Executive Committee of the Asian Studies Conference Japan (ASCJ) invites
proposals for panels, roundtables, and individual papers to be presented at
the 2024 Asian Studies Conference Japan. Next year’s conference will be
held on the Yotsuya Campus of Sophia University on Saturday & Sunday, July
6 & 7.



As in past years, all presentations are to be delivered in English.
Proposals may be submitted online between September 15 and October 31.
Results will be announced by late December.



Each participant is allowed to apply to present only one panel or
individual paper during the conference. (This restriction applies to
co-authored and co-presented papers.) Furthermore, during the conference,
presenters may also be the chair of their own panel or of another one, but
no presenter should be the discussant for their own panel. Presenters may
be the discussant for a different panel.



The forms and further information are available at:
https://ascjapan.org/conference/



Submission Categories

*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 2024 Conference. The deadline for submission of the
completed paper is June 15, 2024. The winner will be announced at the time
of the keynote lecture.



I and my colleagues on the Executive Committee look forward to seeing you
in Tokyo in 2024.
