Civil rights in Japan: An evening with Arudou Debito

As educators we have a responsibility to have some awareness of society at large. One measure of a society is how it treats or protects its weakest members. After a brief overview of the treatment of some of Japan's minority groups, the speaker will cite some examples and open the floor to discussion about the ins and outs of the issue. He will also discuss recent changes in the education system, and how civil rights issues play out for language teachers.

Meet & Greet

Following the presentation will be an informal chance to discuss topics with Debito on a more intimate level. This is a great chance to meet one the leading civil rights advocates in Japan today. For Further information about Arudou Debito, please visit his homepage at: http://www.debito.org/
