Abstract
There has been an increasing tendency among Japanese scholars to participate in the conferences and academic meetings organized by the International Sociological Association (ISA). This paper aims to explore ways for individual researchers to make use of ISA research committees as a platform on which to nurture transnational academic collaborations. As an academic organization, research committees have distinctive characteristics. I will first clarify these characteristics through comparison of research committee with other types of academic organizations, and then point out some of the strategies and attitudes, including cautions, individual researchers can employ when entering into transnational collaborative relationship within the confines of ISA research committee.
