The in-person panel on "Global/Transnational Japan" I'm organizing for the 2023 AAA Meeting in Toronto #Transitions has space for one more panelist. I'm looking for a non-ladder-faculty person (incl. post-field grad) who can add to the themes of our existing papers, which are:1/3

[Suma Ikeuchi 池内須摩 @prof_suma]

(1) Afro-Japanese encounters & youth internet culture, (2) Filipino caregivers in aging Japan, (3) musical worlds of Korean Hiroshima, (4) transnational sustainable seafood industry. Our discussant is Dr. Christine Yano at U Hawai'i. 2/3

UC senate faculty please RT and spread word: There is a common misconception that the UAW tentative agreements mean the strike is over. The strike isn’t over until and IF the majority of members vote to ratify - voting closes Dec 23. Please hold the line & don’t submit grades!

Doing a PhD on themes relating to service, duty, and care? Join us in Venice next June! See below for details on how to apply

UCSB: Rally tomorrow at noon - all out for striking workers! We'll meet outside the SSMS building, march to the east campus picket line, and end with speakers and spoken word at the Arbor.

I'm a tenured prof in the UC system. Housing here is no joke, even to me. Can't imagine how much harder it must be for those more precarious.

When 48,000 UAW Academic Workers go on strike on Monday, Nov 14, senate faculty at the University of California have a legally-protected right under the Higher Education Employment Relations Act (HEERA) to respect the picket line. Some reasons + resources for showing solidarity:

A late announcement, but an edited volume to which I contributed a chapter

"A Historical Materialist Approach to Transnational Japanese Studies"

came out earlier this year. 🧵

The concluding paragraph in the image.

Plz email me if you're intrigued but find it difficult to access it (I don't use DM here).

Cheers, nerdy scholars! 🎉
