The Program on U.S.-Japan Relations holds a weekly seminar that is open to the University community and the general public. Speakers include leading faculty and experts from Harvard and other universities in the United States, Japan, and elsewhere who have made significant contributions to the program's research areas. Seminars feature a discussion period and are attended on average by fifty faculty members, students, and researchers from Harvard and from the greater Boston-Cambridge community. Unless otherwise indicated, all seminars take place from 12:30 to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesdays in the Bowie-Vernon Room (K262) in the Knafel Building 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.
