<p>The Biennial Conference of the Japanese Studies Association of
Australia will be held at the University of Wollongong from 26 to 30
June 2017. The Call for Papers is now open.</p>
<p>The conference takes place seventy years since the revised
Constitution of Japan came into effect on 3 May 1947. The same year
witnessed the implementation of several other important legal and social
reforms.</p>
<p>In this Conference we wish to reflect on Japan’s seven decades of
postwar democracy. We invite participants to consider the constitutional
and legal system, democracy and civil society, the political economy of
postwar Japan and the cultural imagining and
reimagining of Japanese society over this period. As new technologies
assume an ever greater importance in a changing Japan, this conference
will also include a sub-theme of Japanese Studies in the Digital Age.</p>
<p>We invite papers on any of the following themes.</p></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div style="color:rgb(33,33,33)">

<p>For the 2017 conference, we ask that participants submit proposals
for full panels rather than individual papers. Panels will be allocated
90 minutes and may either take the form of three 20 minute papers with
30 minutes for discussion, or three 15 minute
papers, 15 minutes for discussant’s comments, and 30 minutes
discussion. Full panels will include three speakers and a chair or a
chair/discussant.</p>
