Description
What does it mean to navigate identity while teaching in a society that often values conformity? In this session, we will explore the lived experiences of three Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in Japan who identify as gender-diverse, sexually diverse, and racially diverse. Each speaker will share their personal journey of identity development, resilience, and connection while living and working in Japan.
