ATENEO DE MANILA UNIVERSITY
Japanese Studies Program
invites everyone to
2012 International Conference
MIGRATION AND CREATION OF MULTI-CULTURAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN:
WORKERS, WOMEN AND THE NEXT GENERATION
27 - 28 January 2012, Ricardo Leong Hall Auditorium
Ateneo de Manila University, Loyola Heights, Quezon City
Under globalization, migration is no longer a peculiar topic of academic inquiry but an indispensable part of the social sciences. This two-day conference aims to approach this theme from various viewpoints. It will be composed of three parts: the history of Japanese out-migration; the socio-economic issues of contemporary in-migration to Japan in the context of internationalism and the aging society; and the multi-cultural society of Japan. It attempts to scrutinize the politics of population mobility from and to Japan, and explore the possibility of a multi-cultural society in and of Japan, which would encompass diverse definitions of ?Japanese? and spaces that embrace people with different ethnic backgrounds.
International speakers who will attend this year include: Dr. Aurora Javate-de Dios (Miriam College), Prof. Angelo Ishi (Musashi University), Dr. Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu (Stanford University), Dr. Soo Im Lee (Ryukoku University), Prof. Shun Ohno (Kyushu University), and many more. Some sessions will allow young Filipino researchers in the field to present their most recent works. It is hoped that this line up of presentations by seasoned and new, as well as international and local scholars, will stimulate vibrant discussions on various topics and approaches in the field of migration studies, which is increasingly significant in this era of globalization, and help create new networks among major institutions related to Japanese studies.

P800 for two days and P500 for each day, inclusive of snacks, lunch and a
conference kit.
Non-Ateneo students: P250 for each day, Ateneo students: free
