Postgraduate Award

The JSAA Executive would like to continue the practice, introduced at the 2003 conference, of making an award for the best postgraduate paper submitted after delivery at the conference.

All postgraduates are encouraged to submit material for the prize. Criteria are:

• relevance of topics to Japanese studies or Japanese language education
• clarity and logic of argument
• capacity to make an innovative and original contribution to existing literature
• general presentation including accuracy of spelling, grammar, use of Japanese terms etc
• providing accurate and consistent referencing and citation

Prospective applicants for the prize might note that the judges' decision will be based solely on the quality of the written paper. The conference presentation itself will not be judged. Applicants are also reminded that the judges will be looking for publication standard material.

The award will be made on the basis of a written paper, not the conference delivery.

The Association also hopes to sponsor a number of events such as a session for postgraduates and advice for prospective ARC applicants.
