Association for Cultural Typhoon (ACT) 2020 Online Conference

We are calling for proposals for individual research papers.

Conference dates: November 28 (Sat.) and 29 (Sun.), 2020

Venue: Online via Zoom

Proposal deadline: September 16, 2020

Conference Aim

Cultural Typhoon 2020 (the annual conference of the Association for Cultural Typhoon) that was planned for Nagasaki was, unfortunately, cancelled due to the influence of coronavirus. However, with the desire to support emerging researchers with valuable presentation opportunities, our association has decided to create such an occasion. While these presentations will be held online, we consider them achievements equivalent to that of conventional academic conference presentations. We hope that this online conference will be a place for graduate and undergraduate students, post-doctoral researchers and early-career faculty members to present their research and exchange opinions.

Though our usual conference accepts panel session proposals, we will only be accepting individual paper proposals for this online conference in light of its particular aims.
