Another Letter (in my capacity as President of @BAJS17) to the Japanese Ambassador in London - this time about the problems students are facing getting visas to start their studies in #Japan.

I am shocked to hear about the problems being faced by students trying to get appointments so that they can get their visas to go to #Japan to study on their year abroad. I am currently preparing a letter to send to the Japanese Embassy in my capacity as President of @BAJS17.
Just come across the following survey about the restrictions for entry into #Japan and its impact on those of us who do academic work related to Japan. I would encourage people to take part.

The Call for Papers for our special issue on The #Decolonisation of #Japanese Studies is now on our website. We are interested in contributions from any field of study and welcome interdisciplinary papers. Abstracts should be submitted by 20 July 2022. https://t.co/G7Gjkvg2ZO
In asking these key questions we hope to initiate a discussion which will reshape our knowledge of Japan, and the way in which we continue to contribute to that knowledge. Please direct any queries/submit your articles to the Editor, Dr. Hannah Osborne: [email protected]
Editors at Japan Forum are inviting articles for a Special Issue on the decolonisation of JS. We welcome papers from any field of study, including (but not only) history, literature, film and anime, international relations, art and heritage, tourism, and the social sciences,
What are some of the ways in which the formation of Japanese Studies, as an academic subject, has contributed to the perpetuation of colonial and neo-colonial power relations and how might we find ways to
counteract them?
How can we begin to untangle the colonial and neo-colonial ambitions of the West and Japan and their effect on each other? What are the implications, when we begin to do so, on our renewed understanding of Japanese history, politics, society and culture?
as well as projects which are interdisciplinary, cross-
disciplinary, that draw on multi-lingual sources and/or diverse methodologies. What does decolonisation mean in the context of JS?
