About Us

Media, Gender, and Sexualities Study Group

メディア・ジェンダー・セクシュアリティ研究会

We are a collective of scholars teaching and researching issues related to gender, media, and sexualites in Japan. Our study group meets to host public speakers, discuss new books, and share knowledge and ideas online as well as at several universities across greater Tokyo. We now hold most events in a hybrid format to allow for remote participation for our members outside of Japan.
