NOTE: This conference is primarily self-supporting. Therefore, we ask that you submit a proposal only if you will be able to register for the conference at the appropriate fee (3000 yen/person and 800 yen for students). In cases of financial hardship, the Peace as a Global Language conference may be able to provide very limited financial support or accommodations to support select presenters.
