We're joined by Dr. Kathryn Goldfarb, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder. Our discussion focuses on how an anthropologist approaches Japan, how kinship is defined in Japan, and the issues facing child welfare systems.
Dr. Goldfarb, like each of our guests this season, is a member of the fifth cohort of the Mansfield Foundation’s U.S.-Japan Network for the Future.
