2024 Abe Fellows Global Forum, “Beyond Resilience: What Japan Can Teach the World about Disaster”

In this online 2024 Abe Fellows Global Forum, four Abe Fellows discussed questions such as how do communities, regions and nations recover from extreme hazards; how can local knowledge impact resilience; what can we learn from the experiences of disaster-ridden nations such as Japan; can that knowledge be leveraged in recovery from conflict?

The panelists’ comments were followed by a Q&A moderated by Abe Fellow Dr. Mary Alice Haddad, John E. Andrus Professor of Government; Director, Office for Faculty and Carter Development, Wesleyan University.

Panelists included:

Dr. Daniel Aldrich, Professor of Politics and Public Policy, Northeastern University

Dr. Heejun Chang, Professor and Chair, Department of Geography, Portland State University

Dr. Mary Alice Haddad, (Moderator and Discussant) John E. Andrus Professor of Government; Director, Office for Faculty and Carter Development, Wesleyan University

Dr. Anuradha Mukherji, Associate Professor of Community and Regional Planning, East Carolina University

Dr. Jordan Sand, Professor of Japanese History, Georgetown University

The Japan Foundation, New York was pleased to partner with Social Science Research Council, and the East-West Center in Washington, DC.
