Assistant Professor of Anthropology Haeng-ja Chung presented a paper, "Deconstructing the Notions of 'Korean' 'Nightclub' 'Hostesses' in Japan and Proposing 'Labor Participant Observation'" at the Contemporary Anthropology Workshop at the University of Tokyo in November.  She highlighted diversity within Koreans in Japan and discussed the notions of "nightclub" "hostess" based upon her research. 

Methodologically, she also proposed to conceptualize the "labor participant observation," in which a fieldworker participates in a field as a productive member (e.g., worker and volunteer). Chung also served as a discussant for the paper "Filipino Labor Migrants in Japan" (in Japanese) presented by Dr. Atsumasa Nagata (the University of Kyoto).
