Several DIJ researchers and alums will participate in this year’s sections’ meetings of the German Association for Social Science Research on Japan (VSJF). The sections’ meetings replace the annual conference which has been postponed to 2021 due to the Corona pandemic. Research fellow Nora Kottmann and DIJ alum Carola Hommerich are organizers of the Sociology Section (with Celia Spoden). The History Section is convened by VSJF president Anke Scherer and research fellow Torsten Weber. The Technology Section is convened by DIJ alum Cosima Wagner and research fellow Susanne Brucksch who will also give a paper (“Trend report: Digital health developments in Japan during the pandemic”) in that section. Former DIJ research fellow Harald Conrad organizes the Economy Section. The sections meet online on Saturday, 21 November, from 19.00-20.15 and 20.30-21.30 (JST). During the VSJF members’ meeting, the Contemporary Japan Best Paper Award 2020 will be presented by CJ’s Managing Editor Isaac Gagné. For the programme of all sections’ meetings see the VSJF website.
