DIJ Study Group
The DIJ Study Group is a forum for scholars and Ph.D. candidates working in any field of the humanities or social sciences related to Japan. The meetings are usually organized as hybrid events.
Speakers are asked to give a 45 minutes presentation followed by a discussion session. Presentations are usually given in English.
Contact: studygroup@dijtokyo.org
The DIJ Study Group replaces the DIJ Business & Economics Study Group, the DIJ History & Humanities Study Group, and the DIJ Social Science Study Group which ran until April 2024.
