April 24-25, 2021


Last year’s “Living on the Edge” conference highlighted how present diversity is in our daily lives in Japan and our individual experiences of living that difference. Much has changed in the last few months and we now find ourselves in the grip of a global pandemic; many of us more physically isolated than before, discovering new and necessary ways to connect with others. Interculturalist Milton Bennett said, “Our initial response to difference is usually to avoid it.” At Living on the Edge 2021: Stories that Connect Us, we invite you to share how you negotiate your lived difference in the community around you. Specifically, how do we use our differences to connect with others? How do we share ourselves in our classrooms, our workplaces, our families and in our wider communities?
