ZOOM, Sophia University: A two-day event with a reading workshop (Jun 18) + seminar event (Jun 19) on "Mapping ecological distribution conflicts, Framing environmental justice movements" featuring Prof. Naw Thiri May Aye from Tokyo University. See more info.

Solutions for our most pressing social and ecological issues come from unexpected places on a meditative and artfully-executed journey through Japan, South Korea, and the United States.

Despite pro-rural policies and new farmers moving to the countryside in rural Japan, only half of self-employed farmers are able to sustain this new lifestyle for more than 5 years. What challenges and opportunities face them? This is a talk by Prof. Niccolo Lollini from Meiji University.

Are farming and urban campuses really two separate things? To explore this connection, join us in the Sustainable Campus Forum, where we invite Sophia University members and connect students, faculty, and staff in collective discussions and actions about campus sustainability.

KASA Sustainability's bi-annual general meeting where newcomers and members set the stage for activities and events for the Spring 2023 semester at Sophia University!

HyFlex workshop. Theme: Climate and land (in)justice: inequalities, intersections, and opportunities for justice in Southeast Asia. We will be discussing Dr. Borras's and Dr. Ribot's work on climate justice, with a focus on its intersections with social justice.

Please join us for a discussion of campus sustainability with five Jesuit universities in Asia!

We'll have our third (and final) workshop in our IPCC series! The third report is on the topic of climate change mitigation. We suggest reading the material before coming to this event so that we can have a fascinating discussion together; Prof. Ito will facilitate the discussion.
