In a little room in the skyscraper district of Tokyo, it was still 9/11 in Japan, but during the nightly news a box was suddenly inserted in the corner of the TV screen with live footage from CNN. It was mostly shaking heads and embarrassed smiles to me, a Bostonian in their midst. It seemed that the media gradually gave people a discourse structure to discuss the events, but it was surprising how different the view from Japan came to be.

New York University Professor Julia Keefer is compiling a errorism and Education" special issue of the Journal of
Online Education:

Prof. Keefer asked me to contribute an article, which is available at:

"Another Against the Other: Terrorism through Japanese Lenses"

I hope that people find it instructive and give feedback.

You might consider it for your Web links of essays and reflections. Thank you.
