?Japan: What?s Up and What?s Not? by Wayne McWilliams, Ph.D.
September 29, 2007, 2 p.m.
Towson Library, 320 York Road
Free and Open to the Public
Having been an economic dynamo for several decades, Japan dropped from the radar screen in the early 1990s. Wayne McWilliams, professor emeritus at Towson University, will examine recent political, economic and social developments in Japan as well as the tensions between tradition and modernity, and Eastern and Western values. Is Japan a nation maintaining a steady course of progress or is it adrift in a post-modern malaise?
The lecture is sponsored by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Towson University, an important component of Extended Education and Online Learning (EEOL) and the Division of Economic and Community Outreach (DECO).
