CALL FOR PAPERS
We are pleased to announce that the third international conference of the Japan Society for Afrasian Studies (JSAS 2021) will be held ONLINE on July 3rd this year, and we are inviting researchers, practitioners, and students, to send original research abstracts.
About JSAS
JSAS is a multi-disciplinary research platform of African studies in Japan/Asia and, potentially, of Japanese/Asian studies in Africa, and its focus is the creation of intercultural and intergenerational links to facilitate dialogue among participants on issues affecting Africa and Asia.
Theme
The proposed theme for JSAS 2021, Beyond COVID-19: The Value of Human Capital in the New Afrasian Connectivity, has been inspired by the global COVID pandemic. Through this theme, we intend to focus on the value of human agency and connectivity in the wake of the global pandemic. Nagoya JSAS invites contributions to enhance our understanding of the current and future challenges facing Africa and Asia. These two regions have some of the world’s youngest and most rapidly growing populations. Rapid demographic changes on the two continents must be kept in mind. The value of human capital, especially the grassroots and the rapidly increasing young population, will be at the center of presentations and discussions at this online event as we look ahead to the post COVID days.
The webinar language is English.
