Staying informed about global events, especially in East Asia, can be overwhelming with the constant flood of news. That’s why we offer Behind the Headlines, an online series designed specifically for teachers. This series provides a clear and insightful overview of recent developments and this session on Japan will be led by Robert Pekkanen, Professor at the Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, Adjunct Professor of Political Science, and Adjunct Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington.
