Dear SSJ Forum Colleagues,

Please find below my warm invitation to all, courtesy of the Covid-19 disruption to these digital events on Japan's role in the world, Abe and Suga, at UBC in Vancouver, Canada. The second event is an updated book talk with Tobias Harris, in case you missed his earlier book talks. The time works for North America and Japan (less good for Europe, sorry).. With warm wishes, Yves T
