Message from Prof. Yoshimi：
During my stay at Harvard, I taught two courses both in the graduate and the
undergraduate program; “Japanese Media Studies” as the graduate course and
“America in Japan” as the undergraduate course.  Throughout this experience,
I have learned a lot of important elements implemented in the “Harvard
System” from inside.  In this short talk, I’m going to explain some of the
findings from my personal experience.  I already wrote this in my recent
book 『トランプのアメリカに住む』（岩波新書）, especially in Ch.3.  So I
recommend you to read the chapter before joining this workshop.

About Professor Itatsu:

Development Initiative (GFD) at the College of Arts and Sciences. She has
