High-profile Australian and Japanese academics discuss contemporary issues of interest to both Australians and Japanese at Japan’s leading Australian studies conference. The first session on Economic Geography will analyse the recent trends in Australian demography and logistics. With a group of Japanese geographers, the Australian Studies Association of Japan (ASAJ) will invite Professor Emeritus Kevin O’Connor from the University of Melbourne as a guest speaker.

The second session on Indigenous affairs will mark the 30th anniversary of Australia’s Bicentenary celebrated in 1988, which marked 200 years since the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney. To reflect on the history and historiography of the Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationship, ASAJ will organise a panel of six Japanese leading scholars from the fields of history, anthropology and art.

ASAJ was established in 1989 and is comprised of dedicated Japanese academics who organise a bilingual annual Australian Studies Conference. In the past, the Conference has hosted sessions about the Japan-Australia Joint Declaration of Security Cooperation, Indigenous Australian tourism, carbon and mining tax reforms, and many more.

This program is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia-Japan Foundation of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
