March 27 - Intellectual Exchange: From the Cold War to the 21st Century

Speaker: Andrew Horvat, Tokyo Representative, The Asia Foundation

The work of English-language wordsmiths in Japan has followed a history of intellectual exchange burgeoning in the 1950s and 1960s and continuing until the 1990s. What are the underlying forces and strategies shaping our professional endeavors today? Andrew Horvat, who is also a student of Japan, reflects on the fifty years of the Foundation’s work as a context for understanding the achievements so far and where we go from here—the big picture in which we work.
