Dear Colleagues,     

The National Institute of Japanese Literature (NIJL) would like to invite interested

participants in the upcoming Boston AAS to a 2-hour (in-person!) informational

meeting to be held there on Friday evening, 3/17, from 19:30-21:30pm.

The meeting--titled “The Future of Biography in Studies of Premodern Japan”--is

dedicated to considering the changing role and expanding possibilities of biographical

research, in the context of various technological developments whose accumulative

effect has revolutionized the field.

The meeting will be divided into two 1-hour sessions: (1) a series of individual presentations

surveying new tools and approaches to biographical research, and (2) a roundtable & discussion

on the present—and future—of resources available for such research. A detailed program

follows below.
