The Association publishes a fully-refereed journal, Japanese Studies, edited by Dr. Judith Snodgrass, UWS, and distributed by Routledge. Your membership entitles you to three editions of the journal every year. We welcome articles on all aspects of Japanese Studies from all over the world.
The JSAA, Inc. is managed by an elected executive, and we see our mission as being to promote study and research on Japan, and to argue for the needs of Japanese Studies practitioners and students in Australia. We also welcome links with Japanese Studies Associations and individual practitioners from other countries. In 1997, for example, the Japan Anthropology Workshop (JAWS) held a conference in conjunction with the JSAA Conference in Melbourne. In 2009 in Sydney we will co-host an international conference on Japanese language education, which is run by a consortium of Japanese language/studies related associations in Japan, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, US, Europe and Australia.
