Deadline for Submissions has been extended to Sunday 3 November. See previous blog posts for details on the conference. Click the titles below to go to the entry forms for submission and registration.
Accommodation: There are a number of events in Sendai going on in December, so probably best to reserve hotel rooms sooner rather than later. The West side of Sendai Station, or along the Tozai sen is easiest for getting to the Aobayama Campus.

ANTHROPOLOGY OF JAPAN, IN JAPAN 2024 CONFERENCE
TOHOKU UNIVERSITY, SENDAI, NOVEMBER 30~DECEMBER 1
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 details of the conference, see the AJJ home page:
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 on a topic relating to people with disabilities or other marginalized minority groups in Japan.
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.
