The establishment came after more than five years of continuous debate on the formation of an official organization for American history research in Japan. (The Society of American Historical Studies was the predecessor of JAAH.) The JAAH was established under a collective agreement to inherit the principles and tradition of the Summer Seminar for Researchers in American History. The membership of the JAAH is comprised of specialists in the Americas, including the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and South America. To facilitate further research and cooperation among its members, JAAH organizes an annual conference and several regular colloquia throughout the year, and publishes its own journal, American History. ]]> http://www.jaah.jp/english/2010/09/about_jaah.html http://www.jaah.jp/english/2010/09/about_jaah.html About the JAAH Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:55:16 +0900 The 7th Annual Conference of the JAAH September 18-19 2010 Place: Tokyo Woman's Christian University Program Day 1: September 18th (Saturday) 12:00-13:00 Executive Meeting 14:00-17:00 Symposium A: Music Beyond Borders Moderator: Daizaburo Yui (Tokyo Women's Christian University) Panelists: Tatsuya Shioya (Artist) A Peculiar Reception of Gospel Music in Japan and Its Current Situation Yusuke Torii (Setsunan University) Jazz and National Borders: A Japanese Canadian Experience Shuhei Hosokawa (International Research Center for Japanese Studies) Representing the rural: Música sertaneja as Brazil's "country " music Commentator: Keiko Wells (Ritsumeikan University) 17:15-18:15 General Meeting 18:30-20:30 Reception Day 2: September 19th (Sunday) 10:00-12:00 Independent Paper Presentations Session A Moderator: Keiichi Shoji (Josai University) Presentations: Shiori Nomura (Chuo University) Transnational nationalism and the sense of American citizenship: The National Croatian Society in the U.S.A.
