JSAA-ICNTJ2023

​

Biennial Conference of the Japanese Studies Association of Australia 2023/ International Conference of the Network for Translingual Japanese

​

Theme: Living in a post-Covid Society: Mobility of People and Language across Borders for Social Integration

​

The joint JSAA-ICNTJ 2023 conference will bring cutting-edge research across all areas of Japanese Studies and related fields to the fore, including a feature on Japanese as a heritage and community language. After a hiatus of face-to-face networking, the conference will be a venue to engage researchers in all fields of Japanese Studies and Japanese Language (Education) through discussions that relate to (but are not limited to) the movement of people, artifacts and language across borders in a Post-COVID society. The conference will delve into new ways of considering mobility, diversity and social integration where decolonisation and globalisation in, and of, Japan may be considered in a different light.

 

Various social events including a Multilingual/Multicultural/Multisensory Precincts Walking Tour and a Japanese Community Language School Visit will be organised to offer lived experiences of the dynamism and diversity of Sydney. These events aim to give participants the chance to develop and expand the conference themes of mobility, diversity and social integration in situ.
