New Publication: Studying Japan: Handbook of Research Designs, Fieldwork and Methods

Apologies for cross-posting

Happy new year! We would like to draw your attention to the new publication Studying Japan: Handbook of Research Designs, Fieldwork and Methods, edited by Nora Kottmann and Cornelia Reiher.

Studying Japan is the first comprehensive guide on qualitative methods, research designs and fieldwork in social science research on Japan. More than 70 Japan scholars from around the world provide an easy-to-read overview on qualitative methods used in research on Japan’s society, politics, culture and history. The book covers the entire research process from the outset to the completion of a thesis, a paper, or a book. The authors provide basic introductions to individual methods, discuss their experiences when applying these methods and highlight current trends in research on Japan. The book serves as a foundation for a course on qualitative research methods and is a reference for all researchers in Japanese Studies, the Social Sciences and Area Studies. It is an essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in Japan!
