The 6th Philippine Studies Conference in Japan 

The Philippine Studies Conference in Japan (PSCJ) is convened every four years as an international forum for scholarly exchange in Philippine Studies in Japan. Over the course of its history, the conference has brought together researchers from a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, political science, sociology, and linguistics, to advance academic dialogue on Philippine society.

The PSCJ 2026, marking the sixth conference in this series, aims to build upon the accumulated achievements of Philippine Studies in Japan while critically re-examining ongoing social transformations and evolving research methodologies. By fostering dialogue across disciplinary and generational boundaries among scholars based both in Japan and abroad, the conference seeks to provide a platform for exploring new directions and perspectives in Philippine Studies.
