The Japan Times just interviewed me toward an article on bilingual education. Whenever I think my work is done in a field, requests come along and I find I have still more I've wanted to express.

I've been invited to give an informal presentation at Kōnan University in Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture next month. It will be my 100th different presentation topic. Many people have appreciated my photos and explanations, so I will show and tell briefly about 20 "Kyōto Temples, Shrines, and Festivals."

The [Uniqlo / Fast Retailing founder] Yanai Initiative, Waseda University, and UCLA have teamed up on a new Japan Past & Present site. My Profile in English with a focus on Japan is at https://japanpastandpresent.org/en/resources/japan-scholar-search/steve-mccarty and in Japanese (日本語版) at https://japanpastandpresent.org/jp/resources/japan-scholar-search/steve-in-japanese
One of the main functions is a Japan Scholar Search using keywords, at https://japanpastandpresent.org/en/resources/japan-scholar-search/search

ucaccessnow , 6 months ago to disability

Media consistently fails in reporting on disability and on ableism. The story is that:

• disabled people consistently have our tax $ funneled into institutions that use that $ to create infrastructure & culture that exclude us

• 33 years post-ADA this is still a daily occurence

• Only due to extreme risk-taking activism has UC changed a damn thing...then they do a PR blitz to erase activists' credit & act as if they were big innovators. @disability
