JSANZ is an advocacy network for Japanese language education and Japanese studies at tertiary level in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We work together on projects and activities that promote and strengthen Japanese language education and Japanese studies in New Zealand.

Our members are teachers and researchers of Japanese language and Japanese studies at New Zealand’s tertiary institutions. Membership is also open to other individuals and entities committed to JSANZ’s goals. JSANZ provides a vital communication forum, serving all with common interests and concerns.
