The Contemporary Japanese Politics Study Group is co-sponsored by the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs (WCFIA), and the Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. It offers opportunities for advanced Ph.D. students, faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars to circulate their works-in-progress (conference paper, draft dissertation chapter etc.) and receive feedback. The study group’s invitation list includes over fifty faculty, graduate students, and others at Harvard and in the greater Boston and New England region. The Study Group is chaired by Susan Pharr and Daniel Smith of the Department of Government, and is co-sponsored with the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. For more information, please contact Shinju Fujihira (sfujihira (at) wcfia.harvard.edu), Executive Director of the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations.
