Center for Global Initiatives Public Lecture


Sustainable Society, Japan

Speaker: Prof. John Lie

Sociology Department, University of California, Berkeley


"Conventional wisdom colors Japan darkly: the lost decades of
economic stagnation, the specter of population decline and rapidly
aging society, and so on and on. Without blanching the caliginous
canvas, I shift it to cast a glimmer of light on contemporary Japanese
society."


Prof. John Lie teaches social theory at the University of California, Berkeley. His
most recent books are The Dream of East Asia: The Rise of China, Nationalism,
Popular Memory, and Regional Dynamics in Northeast Asia (2018)
and Collected Works in six volumes in Korean (2019). For more,
