Even though Japan and Taiwan share close proximity, issues of democratic politics, defence strategies, and even consumption of popular culture, such as fashion and pop music, the issues involving interactions between Japan and Taiwan have rarely been discussed by Australian scholars.

Funded by the Japanese Studies Association of Australia and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (Melbourne), this symposium aims to create and strengthen a network among those who study about Japan and Taiwan.

Registrations close 9am on Wednesday 1 May 2024.
