The 2013 International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) Annual Lecture will be given by Professor Carol Gluck from Columbia University (New York, USA). She will examine four questions frequently asked about modern Japanese history, from the nineteenth century until the present, in order to see how they appear when viewed in a global context – in the context of “modernity in common”. This lecture also marks the 20th anniversary of our institute, and will be followed by a reception.

Venue:Leiden University, Academy Building (small auditorium), Rapenburg 73, Leiden

Registration is free of charge
