It is my great pleasure to launch our #AAS2020 virtual roundtable, The "Rebirth" of Japanese Studies, on the state of the field & its future. To enable wider participation & accessibility, we have are presenting speakers' work digitally. http://prcurtis.com/events/AAS2020/

I'm also immensely grateful to the panelists, who have stuck by the preparation of this roundtable despite the cancellation of #AAS2020 and all of the pressures they face during quarantine and remote teaching. They've been wonderful and supportive. More soon!

My brain doesn't want to translate today, so I'm working on some of the coding for our virtual roundtable from our cancelled #AAS2020 event... some great things in the works! 💻✨

In light of the #AAS2020 cancellation, I’m providing a thread as a kind of virtual “meeting-in-conjunction” for Digital Humanities Japan with the information I planned on providing @AASAsianStudies. Please feel free to jump in at the end with questions, comments, etc.! 💻 #DHJPN

Between the state of the world & recovering from lost #AAS2020 plans, it's been a long week. We could all use some levity. How about treating us to your best #AASpets shot? 🐾 Here's Freckles keeping guard of my sources. Her face says the going treat rate is no longer acceptable.

Disappointing to have to cancel #AAS2020, but ultimately the best decision. THANK YOU to the @AASAsianStudies organizers who have been working tirelessly to manage this unprecedented situation. I had the privilege of research funds this year, so I've donated my registration fee.

Friends keep saying it's "just a matter of time" until #AAS2020 gets cancelled but I'm holding out hope the panic doesn't do it in! 😖🤞🤞 There are so many great things on the program this year I want to see!

Thanks to everyone who's helped put together bits of my data on the East Asia job postings this season. FYR, I'm going to do a brief write up and share the results just prior to our roundtable on the state of the Japan Studies field at @AASAsianStudies #AAS2020! Stay tuned! 📊
