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.

Further Information and Inquiry:

This symposium is open to academics, students and the public who are interested in Japan and/or Taiwan. There will be no registration fee for attendees but registration is mandatory.

Lunch and drinks will not be provided. Please visit the Eventbrite page for more information about the event agenda and abstracts.

For further inquiry, please contact the symposium chair, Dr Tets Kimura, tets.kimura@flinders.edu.au.

Come along and learn all about archaeology at the Flinders University Archaeology Day, where you can hear from our staff and current students (who work all over the world!) about some of the exciting research we are doing, discover how to become a professional archaeologist and the careers this degree can lead to, and even get your hands dirty with some practical activities!

Dig for artefacts, meet some skeletons, hear about ancient temples and historic shipwrecks, and visit our labs. This event is part of National Archaeology Week, and we welcome high school students and prospective archaeologists of all abilities, ages 15+.
