CFP- AAS Social Working Citizenship
I am putting together a panel for the 2018 AAS in Washington D.C. that considers the role of social work and social service in the push for women’s rights and women’s political inclusion throughout Asia. In many contexts throughout Asia, political visibility and action for women has been tied to more localized social service work. Much of the organizing of the early and middle 20th century revolved around women’s ability to intimately ‘know’ and care for others locally, and the translation of that local work into national and transnational organizing.

Asia-Pacific War Studies Project (APWAR): Summer Workshop 2017–Discovering “Dai-Nippon”: memory, place and the politics of identity–
This two-day workshop will examine the complex—often controversial—issue of public memory in post-war Japan. Day 1 explores the roles of haunting and narrative in the production of sites of memory and includes visits to Aoyama Cemetery and Yasukuni Shrine. Day 2 focuses on wartime visual and material culture, including the screening of wartime films and an interactive lecture. These tours and screening will be followed by critical reflections, facilitated by cultural geographers, film studies specialists and historians.
