@gwynjapan @AllisonAlexy On that note, that's it for our #NVJS13tour! We're #openaccess so please continue to read, cite + share to support emerging #JapaneseStudies scholars.

On behalf of all of us, not least #NVJS13 Guest Editor @gwynjapan, we hope you enjoy this special issue!

Our final review, by #NVJS13 Guest Editor @gwynjapan, in effect ties the first two together. The "Studying Japan" handbook that he discusses includes chapters by both @AllisonAlexy and Gracia Liu-Farrer, whose latest monographs are reviewed in #NVJS13.

@gwynjapan @AllisonAlexy McClelland is full of praise for the incredibly practical approach of the "Studying Japan" handbook, which he describes as "an encyclopaedia of Japanese Studies research methodologies". Now, who in #JapaneseStudies doesn't want one of those?

@jajabarriga @jeremyyellen @mark_pendleton @AASAsianStudies @beyondjapan21 In doing so, she echoes Yuen's #NVJS13 paper, and we encourage anyone who is interested in considering the potentialities of area studies to look at this equally fascinating paper as well. #NVJS13tour
