The Program on U.S.-Japan Relations holds a weekly seminar that is open to the University community and the general public. Speakers include faculty and leading scholars from Harvard and other universities in the United States, Japan, and elsewhere, as well as journalists, officials, and business people who have made significant contributions to the program’s research areas. Seminars feature a discussion period and are typically attended by 30 to 100 faculty members, graduate and undergraduate students, and researchers from Harvard, as well as academics and professionals from the greater Cambridge-Boston community. Unless otherwise indicated, all seminars take place from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesdays in the Bowie-Vernon Room (K262) at 1737 Cambridge Street, and are chaired by Susan J. Pharr, director of the Program on U.S.-Japan Relations and Edwin O. Reischauer Professor of Japanese Politics.
