The JF/BAJS Japanese Studies PhD Workshop returns in 2024, this year with the theme Life After Your PhD!
We have listened to requests from previous years that one thing postgraduate students would like to learn more about is career options after submitting their PhDs.
After listening to student presentations and receiving individual specialist feedback from your peers and experienced academics, attendees will get the opportunity to listen to lectures about post-PhD life, with a Q&A with a panel to answer some of your burning questions on the theme.
The event is a great chance for postgraduate students to network with each other and the assembled academics, as well as a place to discuss future collaborations.
As in previous years, you will also hear about relevant funding opportunities for Japanese Studies students from organisations in attendance who will deliver short presentations on how they can offer support.
Student Submissions: As an essential part of the workshop, attendees will be asked to present their research in small groups, during the morning session. Mara Patessio at mp78@soas.ac.uk will contact all attendees with more information about presentations after the registration deadline.
Travel Grants: The Japan Foundation is able to offer a partial travel grant of £70 per attendee after attendees have covered the first £20 of their fare. The British Association for Japanese Studies is able to offer £100 per attendee towards the cost of accommodation.*
*Grants available for UK-based students only
Please note, attendance to this event is limited to 40 attendees, on a first come, first served basis. As the number of participants is limited, please only register if you know you can make it.
PhD students will be prioritised, with MA students joining a waitlist.
Deadline for registration for all students is Friday 5th January, 2024.
