Japan and me

Speaker

Ms. BEALE Alison

Details

I came to Japan right after university and have spent the last thirty years working on developing relationships between Japan and the UK. In this presentation I will talk about what brought me to Japan and why I never left, and will also give my thoughts on the value of studying and working in an international setting. As I describe the evolution of my professional and personal interests here, I hope you may start to see Japan in a different way. This talk will be delivered in English. Both Japanese and non-Japanese participants are extremely welcome!
