HARVARD ASIA QUARTERLY CALL FOR PAPERS: ISLAM IN JAPAN

Two people have, separately, forwarded a call for papers to the Shingetsu Institute. These two are Frank Joseph Shulman (Shingetsu Member No. 28) of the University of Maryland and Cemil Aydin (Shingetsu Member No. 18) of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Actually, I myself have already sent in a proposal, but I will forward this information for the benefit of my colleagues / competitors as well.
