検索Welcome to JSES
The Japan Society of Educational Sociology (JSES) is an academic organization established in 1948 to promote educational sociology and enhance communication for research among members. It has about 1,400 members and conducts various activities vigorously.
The annual meeting is held in the autumn every year. The Society’s journal and the newsletter are issued twice a year.
We welcome the participation of academic researchers, practitioners and policy-makers from overseas so that the JSES will be a site of information exchange among people involved in educational sociology in East Asia widely.
