Upcoming Conferences

2024 Annual Spring Conference

There will not be a 2024 Annual Spring Conference in Seattle in conjunction with the 2024 Association for Asian Studies Annual Conference; however, AATJ members are encouraged to attend the Seattle AAS Conference, which will include two panels sponsored by AATJ and many panels on literary and historical topics related to Japanese studies.

2024 International Conference on Japanese Language Education

Instead of a 2024 Spring Conference, AATJ will be hosting the 2024 International Conference on Japanese Language Education, August 1-3, in Madison, WI. We hope to see many members in Madison, as presenters and attendees.

Spring 2025 – Columbus, Ohio

In 2025, the Spring Conference will return in conjunction with AAS, in Columbus, Ohio.
