CJR ANNOUNCEMENTS

In the Meiji at 150 Podcast, host Professor Tristan Grunow (UBC, Department of History) interviews specialists of Japanese history, literature, art, and culture located on campus or who come to UBC for public events. Topics covered will range from the position of the Meiji Restoration and Meiji Period in each scholar's research, to how they view the significance of the Restoration in Japanese and global history, and finally to how they teach the Meiji Period in their classrooms.

In this episode, Dr. Peter Nosco (UBC) dispels several misconceptions about individuality in Japan prior to the Meiji Restoration.  We then contrast the protest movements of the 1860s in Japan to those of the 1960s, with Dr. Nosco sharing several fascinating anecdotes of personal experiences of the 1960s student protests in the US and Japan.
