On Monday, March 6, Tokyo’s Foreign Correspondents' Club held an event to commemorate the publication of Diversity and Inclusion in Japan: Issues in Business and Higher Education, by the CIL director, Associate Professor SHINOHARA Yoshiki, and its managing director, Professor ALCANTARA Lailani L.
A round-table discussion took place with the author from Tsuda University and a facilitator from UK-based educational media, University World News. They discussed the challenges and current status of diversity and inclusion in Japanese society, with a particular focus on aspects such as age, gender, nationality, and disability within workplaces and educational institutions.

Associate Professor SHINOHARA stressed the importance of individuals not only feeling a sense of belonging but also having their uniqueness acknowledged and effectively utilized within organizations.
