Please join us at the Association for Asian Studies meeting in Boston! Our business meeting will be on Saturday, March 18 at 7:30 pm in the Arnold Arboretum room on the 5th floor of the Boston Sheraton Hotel.
We will spend some time getting to know one another and then we will have a roundtable discussion of current research on Japanese politics from up-and-coming scholars, featuring:
• Aki Nakai, “Japan and Emerging Technologies: Why and How is Japan Responding to Artificial Intelligence?
• Jordan Hamzawi, “It Don't Mean A Thing If The District's Got That Swing: Electoral Stability and Policy Volatility in Japan.”
and
• Harunobu Saijo, “Ideological Contagion and Class Conflict: Exposure to Bolshevism and Class Struggle in Interwar Japan”
After these presentations, Kristin Vekasi will lead a discussion.
Following our meeting, interested participants are welcome to join us at a nearby pub as we get snacks and drinks.
