Japanese professor speaks in LACI lecture Monday
The second Liberal Arts and Critical Issues lecture of the fall is set for Monday, Sept. 16, when Kazuko Ikeda, an associate professor of Japanese at Pacific University, speaks from 7 to 8 p.m. in Hoover 105. The presentation is the second on the theme “State of the World.”
Ikeda will present “Challenges of Intercultural Communication: Americans and Japanese in Dialogue,” in which she will focus on communication style differences between the U.S. and Japan and touch on the worldviews of Buddhism and Confucianism, highlighting the challenges Americans face whenever they work with people of different languages and cultures.
The same session is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m.; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.
