Flying Academia's Flag for Japan
Mari Sako has adopted the idea of being a 'global citizen' through her work in academia.
This series explores topics surrounding women who began their careers in Japan around the time of the implementation of equal opportunities employment legislation in the mid-1980s.
With many now reaching the age of retirement, it is hoped that their stories can provide insight and lessons for women in Japan’s professional world today.

In a time of both misinformation and too much information, quality journalism is more crucial than ever.
