BAJS Research Project:Representing the Other in Modern Japanese Literature
Daiwa Foundation Japan House
the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation 主催
In May 2001, under the aegis of the British Association for Japanese Studies (BAJS), a special collaborative research programme was initiated to enhance intellectual exchanges, fill gaps in the existing literature, and develop new academic networks between scholars in the United Kingdom and Japan.
Professor Glenn Hook, Professor Mark Williams, and Dr Naoko Shimazu, took the lead in organising three individual projects under the scheme, with leading and promising younger scholars from Japan and elsewhere contributing to the endeavour.
All three books are published by Routledge.
