For a decade, dozens of political scientists who study gender and politics in Japan and the United States have been sharing their research on women in politics. With support from the Japan–U.S. Friendship Commission and Washington College, APSA's Japan–America Women Political Scientists Symposium (JAWS) held its sixth symposium in Washington, DC, and Chestertown, Maryland, from August 28 to September 4, 2010. The program was organized by Melissa Deckman of Washington College. Ten Japanese scholars and nine U.S. scholars participated in the workshop, which was the largest gathering of JAWS to date.
