Topics:
"Using 3.11 for Policy Change" by Richard J. Samuels
Japanese political entrepreneurs used the catastrophe in Tohoku to
nudge national policy in their preferred direction by constructing
narratives and assigning blame for 3.11. Battles among competing
perspectives on change and contested appeals to leadership, community, and risk have defined post-3.11 politics and public policy in Japan, particularly in the areas of national security, energy policy, and
local governance.
"BEYOND 3.11" by Shun Kanda
3 INSIGHTs_Toward Disaster-Resilient & Sustainable Futures for
Minamisanriku; a report on the on-going work by the US and Japan-based
MIT 3.11 Initiative team as we apprise our assistance continuing into
the third year of recovery in Tohoku.
"Social Innovation from Tohoku" by Mio Yamamoto
How social entrepreneurs are addressing pressing social problems such
as education, job creation, healthcare in Tohoku in collaboration
with the private and public sectors.
If people are interested, we could meet at 5:30 and eat at one of the restaurants in the MIT student center. Note: please also RSVP with the event organizers at the link above if you plan to attend.
