When reflecting on the decision of whether or not to pursue a graduate degree, people inevitably dwell on the obstacles that they may encounter. I was no different. However, the support network and unparalleled excitement provided by graduate school make anything possible along this new journey. You join a family of incredibly diverse backgrounds and experiences, which creates a wonderful dynamic with those who share this same journey. I can’t emphasize the value of going back to school after a few years of working experience enough. Returning to school after working has the unique benefit of allowing you to decipher what you need and don’t need inside and outside the classroom. Needless to say, you will make life-long friends. Personally, my time in graduate school allowed me to build a network of inspiring people who I admire immensely. GraSPP provides numerous opportunities to study abroad both short-term and long-term. For example, I participated in a long-term option through a double degree program with Columbia SIPA. Attending both schools allowed me to take advantage of the different opportunities that each school provides. Writing this reminded me of the excitement I embraced during my life in graduate school. It was the power and spirit of sharing and giving instilled upon myself and friends alike that motivated us to make better versions of ourselves and the world.

During my master’s degree at The Australian National University, I was informed of the opportunity to participate in a newly-established Double Degree Program with GraSPP. I applied after considering both the quality of staff and the relevance of the subjects to my areas and was accepted into the Program for 2018. I first noticed that the GraSPP administration greatly facilitated the complicated process of preparing to live in another country through always being responsive and understanding. In entering the program, I quickly found I could easily fit into the welcoming GraSPP student community coming from both within Japan and around the world. I also realised that the school not only met my expectations of excellent staff and course papers, but it had another quality with the many opportunities available at such a highly-connected institution. I joined a group of enthusiastic students for the International Field Workshop in August, travelling to Beijing, Delhi and Bangalore to discuss policy issues and our fields of interest with actors at the forefront of policy making in the region. These actors were all interested in us as students and encouraged us to share our opinions and ideas which I found to be exceptionally valuable. Soon after this trip, I joined other students in the West Flooding International Student Volunteer Program and travelled to the Okayama prefecture to lend our efforts and learn about initiatives in flood recovery and management. On our return to Tokyo, we were able to discuss our shared experiences with the students from the ASEAN, Central and South Asian Youth Mission to Japan to learn from each other on solving these issues. The highlight of my second semester was a trip to Vietnam, where I took part in the 2018 Vietnam-Japan Policy Research Forum and presented in a workshop at the Central Institute of Economic Management. This was a highly meaningful experience that substantially contributed to my interest area in cross-country collaboration. Finally, I had the opportunity to intern at the Asian Development Bank Institute, through which I have been able to gain a highly rewarding experience for my future career through assisting research projects and experiencing an environment of a top global think tank. None of these activities would have been possible without the assistance of GraSPP, and I have found them all to be highly organized and prepared. Additionally, between these opportunities have been the fulfilling day-to-day experiences of enjoying life in Tokyo with the other students, travelling around Japan, and having many lively classroom discussions through the semester. I have found my action-packed year to be extremely fruitful for my career path and myself and feel incredibly grateful for the continued support from the professors and administration staff at GraSPP throughout my time in Japan.

UTokyo ISS Lecture: "The Politics of Judicial Reform in Japan" TITLE: The Politics of Judicial Reform in Japan DATE AND PLACE Thursday, February 21 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at Akamon Sōgō Kenkyūtō Room 549, Institute of Social Science, University of Tokyo, Hongo Campus, University of Tokyo ABSTRACT The delivery of justice is a core function of the modern state. The recent introduction of jury/lay judge systems for criminal trials in Japan, South Korea, Spain, and perhaps soon Taiwan represents a potentially major reform of this core function, shifting decision making authority from professional judges to ordinary citizens. But the four countries chose to empower their citizens to markedly different degrees. Why? Drawing on detailed theoretical analysis, original case studies, and content analysis of fifty years of Japanese parliamentary debates, I show that the relative power of 'new left'-oriented political parties explains the different magnitudes of reform in the four countries. The talk also offers a comparative analysis of the Japanese lay judge reform and another major reform that was enacted in the early 2000s, administrative litigation reform. SPEAKER Rieko Kage is associate professor of political science at the Department of Advanced Social and International Studies, University of Tokyo. She is the author of Who Judges?  Designing Jury Systems in Japan, East Asia, and Europe (Cambridge University Press, 2017) and Civic Engagement in Postwar Japan: The Revival of a Defeated Society (Cambridge University Press, 2011).  Her articles have appeared in Comparative Political Studies, the British Journal of Political Science, Political Psychology, among other journals.  She received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Kyoto University and her Ph.D. from Harvard University. CONTEMPORARY JAPAN GROUP The ISS Contemporary Japan Group provides English-speaking residents of the Tokyo area with an opportunity to hear cutting-edge research in social science and related policy issues, as well as a venue for researchers and professionals in or visiting Tokyo to present and receive knowledgeable feedback on their latest research projects. Admission is free and advance registration is not required. Everyone is welcome.
