I am delighted to launch the International Network of Gender, Sexuality & Japanese Language Education (INGS-J) in collaboration with co-coordinator Jotaro Arimori. INGS-J aims to build greater inclusivity for gender and sexual diversity in Japanese language
 education and learning spaces. We aim to foster collaborative intersectionality and queer approaches to language pedagogy and classroom practices. We aim to collaborate widely, and internationally to share information and strategies for creating greater inclusivity
 in Japanese language education for all learners, educators and Japanese language users.</div>
