This noontime event will feature both a retrospective on
Japan's earthquake/tsunami/nuclear meltdown and a forecast of where
Japanese society is headed in coping with the catastrophe.
John Nelson has traveled and conducted fieldwork in the
tsunami zone and will discuss the state of disaster relief efforts
conducted by the Japanese government as well as by Buddhist and
Christian organizations. Steve Roddy will focus on Japan's
anti-nuclear movement, the massive demonstrations of 2012, and the
role of social media and traditional organizations to rally citizen
support. Please bring your lunch, have some cookies and
coffee provided at the event, and join us for this
discussion.
Co-sponsored by Theology and Religious Studies, Modern and
Classical Languages, and Asian Studies.
