KMD Lecture

Another course I’m teaching this semester at KMD. Guest lecturers who have spoken so far include Yasuhiko Tanawaki, former Deputy Director-General of the General Affairs Bureau and currently a Specially Appointed Professor at KMD; Keisuke Murakami, Director-General of the Digital Agency;Katsunori Kondo, Secretary-General of the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity (APT); and Hiroto Fujii, the youngest mayor in Minokamo City’s history, who made a comeback to the mayoral office after being arrested.

When I was a student, I really wanted to hear realistic stories from the people who were fighting on the front lines and making a difference in Japan.

And classes continue this week as well…
