GLOBAL ASIAS CYBER CHAT 1“CHALLENGES ANDOPPORTUNITIES FOR GLOBALASIAS APPROACHES TO JAPANSTUDIES”
MONDAY, APRIL 24, 2023
7:00-9:00PM EST | 8:00-10:00 AM TOKYO TIME

Academic disciplines — like Japan Studies — come with their own methodologies,
assumptions, canons, and lineages of received wisdom. Thinking across disciplines —such as is required by multidisciplinary approaches like Global Asias — requires deep
listening, some relinquishment of expertise, and an openness to ways of thinking
otherwise.
How does the concept of Global Asias encourage you to navigate the epistemic
expectations of, and generate alternatives to, the disciplinarity of Japan Studies?
What are some of the challenges/obstacles in Japan Studies to enacting GlobalAsias scholarship using interdisciplinary, or multidisciplinary, approaches?
What kinds of tools and resources need to be developed to address thechallenges/conflicts/disagreements that inevitably arise as part of Global Asias asa collaborative scholarly enterprise related to Japan Studies?
GAI will provide all Cyber Chat participants with a year-long Project Muse subscription
to Verge: Studies in Global Asias, so that they can become more familiar with the field.
We would love to be in conversation with you and look forward to using these Cyber
Chats to create collaborative spaces for people to think through these issues together.
This is an open format conversation via zoom but to limit the size of the group wewill use an application process. Applications due by Monday, April 3, 2023 and can besubmitted here: https://bit.ly/spring2023cyberchat

GLOBAL ASIAS CYBER CHAT 2“MIGRATION, IDENTITY, AND
DIASPORAS AT THE INTERSECTION
OF JAPAN STUDIES AND GLOBALASIAS"TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 2023
7:00-9:00 PM EST | 8:00-10:00 AM TOKYO TIME

As an archipelago, the Japanese islands have been a site of cultural exchange andmigration for centuries, resulting in complex identities and cultural flows. On the one
hand, people who trace their heritage to the Japanese islands have created diasporiccommunities around the globe. Some of these diasporas stem from Japanese laborers
who traveled to the Americas and others have their origins in the displacements of 20thcentury warfare. On the other hand, there are sizable ethnic, regional, or linguistic minority
populations within Japan.
How does putting Japan in this larger, transregional, and multiethnic context open
possibilities for collaboration in your own research?
What are some of the challenges or obstacles to working on questions of migration,
identity, and diaspora in the field of Japan Studies?
How might an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach, such as Global Asias,
enable new directions or new connections in your research?
