Are there any conference on film, cultural studies or literature that will be in tokyo from jan-june in 2017- and the longer the better 3-4 or more days. I will tell you why</div><div class="">Last year i applied for a taiwanese grant to support research on my book on the relation of theory and practice in japanese cinema. they told me to make it a two-year grant. Last year I received one year with a semi-guarantee of renewal if i proved progress. I had a good year and did the report and got three glowing reviews and three enthuasiastic yes votes, but it was still denied by the administration. They have given no reason. (They even said "Oh we have plenty of money, we just decided not to give it to you.")</div><div class="">I am on sabbatical in the winter-spring of 2017 and planned to spend at least two months in Japan. This was devastating. But one thing i can do is apply for travel funds for a conference. The per diem for tokyo is $283 USD a day and for a three day conference I would get five days of this which would pay for nearly one month's rent in Sakura house. </div><div class="">Sorry to sound desparate, but I'm trying to piece everything together to make the research stay possible.</div><div class="">Thank you for listening.</div><div class="">best</div><div class="">ej<br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" class="">Earl Jackson</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" class=""><div class="">Professor</div><div class="">National Chiao Tung University</div></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" class="">Associate Professor, Emeritus</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" class="">University of California, Santa Cruz</div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" class="">Co-Director<br class=""></div><div style="font-family:arial;font-size:small" class="">Trans-Asia Screen Cultures Institute</div></div></div></div>
