This is a reminder of the approaching July 23 deadline for submissions to the conference "Bent ouf of Shape: Remolding Conceptions of Materiality and the Body in Japan," to be held October 29, 2018 at UCLA. Reginald Jackson, Assistant Professor of Premodern Japanese Literature at UMichigan, and our keynote speaker for the event, has also agreed to lead a workshop tied to the conference theme to be held during the following day. All participants are strongly encouraged to attend.

I am extremely sad to report that our dear friend and colleague Associate Professor Romit Dasgupta passed away suddenly this week. Romit taught and researched at the University of Western Australia for many years, where he was a much-loved teacher, supervisor and mentor. Romit undertook pioneering research in gender and sexuality studies, including his monograph Re-Reading the Salaryman in Japan: Crafting Masculinities (Routledge 2012). He will be laid to rest at a memorial service in Perth, Western Australia on Monday 9 July. Condolences to his family and friends.
