Origin
-Japan Studies Workshop has started with a large influence from the research activities of Chinese graduate students in social sciences. Some of the participants of the Japan Studies Workshop attended their forum organized by Reiping Huang in Sociology in Spring 2005. The forum was to think about issues around the recent anti-Japan movements in China and South Korea. This opportunity inspired Minako Fujitsuka and Hajime Miyauchi to form this Japan Studies Workshop which students and scholars could discuss and learn about current research issues on Japan and related international/multicultural topics.
Japan Studies Workshop meets biweekly and shares stories about their research projects.
