This well-established series with one of the pre-eminent institutions for Japanese Studies in Europe is being re-launched to coincide with the sixtieth anniversary of the subject at Sheffield with a new editorial team to reflect the range of disciplines and approaches being pursued in Japanese Studies today. Contributions are actively sought from both early career and established scholars seeking to present cutting-edge research on topics related to contemporary, modern and pre-modern Japan in the humanities and social sciences, with cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary work being particularly welcome. Informal enquiries about potential publications can be made to the series editors, Dr Saori Shibata and Dr Thomas McAuley. For the submission of formal proposals please contact Stephanie Rogers at [email protected].
