Event Overview
Conflicts over minority immigrants/foreigners and resolution of such conflicts become challenges in Japan, too as a bill that will eliminate racial discrimination, including harassment and hate speech is discussed. Concerning conflicts over minorities “multiculturalism” and “multicultural society” are advocated on one hand. However, concerning policy formation for solving such conflicts various thoughts/politics intervene on the other. We will seek a possibility of symbiosis with minority people through Australia studies which have formed multiculturalism policies.
