About the IAJS
The IAJS exists to promote and develop Jungian and post-Jungian studies and scholarship on an international basis. The IAJS is a multidisciplinary association dedicated to the exploration and exchange of views about all aspects of the broader cultural legacy of Jung's work and the history of analytical psychology. Through the development of Jungian and post-Jungian studies, the IAJS aims to aid the understanding of contemporary cultural trends and the history of psychological and cultural tendencies. For example, the association promotes:
Scholarship relating analytical psychology to the arts and humanities, social sciences and philosophy as well as clinical, methodological and theoretical research
The application of the concepts of Jungian and post-Jungian analytical psychology to literature, theatre, film and media studies, religious studies
Applications in medicine, physics, and the philosophy and history of science
Practice-based research in education, culture, therapy and the arts

Activities
The IAJS is set up to organise conferences, facilitate academic exchange, and maintain a website and keep in contact with existing professional organisations of Jungian analysts and psychotherapists worldwide.
It is committed to the ideals of academic freedom and equal opportunities, and is committed to pursuing opportunities for scholarly publishing as an important method of disseminating research.
Until 2007, the Association collaborated with the London Jung Club in the long-standing journal Harvest: International Journal for Jungian Studies. Our Association will now produce its own independent journal, International Journal for Jungian Studies (under development), as the official journal for the IAJS.

Organisational Structure
Following the IAAP Academic Conference, a group of about 30 academics and analysts held preliminary discussions leading to the formation of a steering group. The main tasks of the steering group, which continued to report to the larger group, were to establish the initial membership of the Association prior to elections and make arrangements for the website and electronic communication.

Upcoming Conferences

Next International Joint Conference with IAAP - University of Braga, Porto, Portugal:

3rd International Joint Conference of the IAJS and the IAAP.  

18 July to 21 July, 2012.
 
Venue: University of Braga, Porto, Portugal
Dear IAJS colleagues,
Greetings from Ithaca, and from the IAJS members of the program committee for the joint international conference with the IAAP in Braga Portugal in July 2012.

Attached you will find the just completed cfp for the conference; it has also been posted to the IAJS  and IAAP websites. I encourage all of you to think about participating, in whatever form mostly richly displays your work. Please take note of the committee's requirement that proposals be sent only in dox or rtf--not in docx or pdf. This is necessary to insure the easy movement of proposals among our variously equipped computers.

The program committee for the conference includes:
Toshio Kawai (IAAP co-chair),
Murray Stein (IAAP),
Ruth Williams  (IAJS),
Lucy Huskinson (IAJS and IJJS),
Alessandra De Coro (IAAP), and
myself (IAJS co-chair).

We share our discussions with Joe Cambray, the current president of the IAAP, and Denis Ramos (IAAP), representing the organizing committee. The  organizing committee members are:
Armando Nascimento Rosa (IAJS), and
Luis Savaiva  (IAJS/IAAP), and
Denise Ramos (IAAP)

The organizing committee is busy arranging the local logistics for the conference, and will post the proper forms as they proceed.

I want to thank Leslie Gardner, Mark Saban, and Kevin Lu for their insightful mounting of the regional conference in London this month.
