This comes as a real shock. Mark participated in at least one Kinema Club, and his contributions to pop culture study and queer studies were pioneering. In 2007-2008, he spent a year here in Ann Arbor as the Toyota Visiting Professor at the Center for Japanese Studies, which is the first time I met him. Wherever Mark was the was great fun to be had. He'll be missed. I'm attaching to obits which go into his life and work. Markus In Memoriam: Professor Emeritus Mark McLelland (1966?2020) by James Welker Sociologist and cultural historian of Japan Mark McLelland passed away on 18 November 2020 in Wollongong, New South Wales. Professor McLelland was well-known for his groundbreaking and influential work across a range of fields, including the cultural history of sexualities in Japan, the global history of the internet, and media and cultural studies. He also made scholarship from Japan accessible through various translation projects. Professor McLelland was the author of *Male Homosexuality in Modern Japan* (2000), *Queer Japan from the Pacific War to the Internet Age* (2005), and *Love, Sex, and Democracy in Japan during the American Occupation* (2012). He was also the editor or coeditor of *Japanese Cybercultures* (2003), *Genders, Transgenders, and Sexualities in Japan* (2005), *AsiaPacifiQueer* (2007), *Queer Voices from Japan* (2007), *Internationalizing Internet Studies* (2009), *Boys Love Manga and Beyond* (2015), *The Routledge Handbook of Sexuality Studies in East Asia* (2015), *The End of Cool Japan* (2017), and *The Routledge Companion to Global Internet Histories* (2017). Professor McLelland graduated from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom in 1988, majoring in Theology and Religious Studies, after which he spent two years in Japan as a Monbush? scholar affiliated with the Department of Sociology at the University of Tokyo, where he researched new religious movements in Japan. After completing a graduate diploma in Japanese language studies at the University of Sheffield and an MA from Cambridge, he went to the University of Hong Kong, where he completed a PhD in Japanese Studies in 2000, beginning his research on male homosexuality in twentieth-century Japan for which he would first become known. Following two consecutive postdoctoral fellowships, the latter of which was an Australian Research Council (ARC) postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Queensland, Professor McLelland began his career at the University of Wollongong as a Lecturer in Sociology in 2006. He was promoted to Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies in 2012. McLelland was named Professor Emeritus in 2020, following his retirement after thirteen years at Wollongong. Professor McLelland has also held teaching and research positions in Japan and the U.S., where he was the 2007?2008 Toyota Visiting Professor of Japanese at the University of Michigan. He has also received numerous grants and fellowships, including an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship, which he held from 2013 to 2017. Over his career, Professor McLelland served on a number of advisory and editorial boards and brought a wide range of scholars together through his organization of conferences and symposia as well as his many edited collections. He was particularly supportive of graduate students and early career researchers as well as scholars working outside Anglophone academia. He was a founding member of the AsiaPacifiQueer collective in the early 2000s, which held pioneering conferences and workshops and produced several edited collections. He served as a member of the Australian Research Council?s College of Experts between 2015 and 2018. He was elected Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia in 2019. Professor McLelland will be remembered for his intellectual curiosity, his collegiality, and his scholarly generosity. He will be sorely missed by his many colleagues and friends. Vale Emeritus Professor Mark McLelland Renowned cultural and social historian passes away after illness ------------------------------ The University of Wollongong is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Emeritus Professor Mark McLelland, a long-serving academic who made a significant contribution to teaching and research at UOW. Professor McLelland died peacefully last week (Wednesday 18 November) at Port Kembla Hospital, following treatment at the Melanoma Institute Australia. A renowned social and cultural historian, Professor McLelland is remembered as a groundbreaking leader in gender and sexuality studies as well as a dedicated mentor and teacher. He joined UOW in 2006, following an esteemed academic career that began in the late 1980s. In 2019, he retired from UOW, the last seven years of which he spent as Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies in the School of Humanities and Social Inquiry. That same year, Professor McLelland was elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia, having served a three-year term on the Australian Research Council?s College of Experts. Just two months ago, Professor McLelland?s immense contribution to the University was recognised and celebrated with an Emeritus Professorship . Originally trained in sociology, Professor McLelland brought an interdisciplinary approach to his research, making important contributions to several fields, including the cultural history of sexualities in Japan, the global history of the internet, and media and cultural studies. His research has been published in highly ranked and influential academic journals in Australia and overseas. He has also authored a number of books ? Male Homosexuality in Modern Japan (Curzon 2000); Queer Japan from the Pacific War to the Internet Age (Rowman and Littlefield 2005); Love, Sex and Democracy in Japan during the American Occupation (New York: Palgrave 2012) ? and co-edited several others. Professor McLelland held visiting positions in Australia and internationally, including as the Toyota Visiting Professor of Japanese at the University of Michigan. In 1988, he graduated from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom with a degree in Theology and Religious Studies. For the next two years, he was a Monbusho Scholar affiliated with the Sociology Department at the University of Tokyo, where he researched New Religious Movements in Japan. Professor McLelland completed a PhD in Japanese Studies at the University of Hong Kong. Throughout his distinguished career, he has been invited to deliver talks at universities throughout the world, focusing on his pioneering history of sexual minority cultures in Japan. Professor Glenn Salkeld, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities, said Professor McLelland was a groundbreaking researcher in his field and a tremendous colleague. ?It is a sad day for Mark?s colleagues at UOW. We extend our deepest condolences to his family and close friends. ?In addition to his outstanding research, Mark was also a generous and hardworking member of staff. His commitment to supporting the careers of PhD students and emerging academics was matched by his advocacy for his colleagues. ?He has made an extraordinary contribution to knowledge and to the reputation and research future for Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Wollongong. He will be deeply missed.? --- *Markus Nornes* *Professor of Asian Cinema* Department of Film, Television and Media, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, Penny Stamps School of Art & Design *Department of Film, Television and Media* *6348 North Quad* *105 S.
