As a nonpartisan educational institution for international affairs, the Council&nbsp;tackles a broad spectrum of projects published in various forms: podcasts, journals, articles, videos, and exhibitions. Given their long-standing reputation and broad reach, I am pleased to be a part of their team.<\/p>\n<p>My role with the Council is largely with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnegiecouncil.org\/programs\/asia\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Asia Dialogues Program<\/a>, for which I am researching policy changes in Japan. Among these topics are gender norms and higher education reform. For my work, I have been able to use my research and writing skills and Japanese language proficiency. Through my time here, I have met notable experts and gained a holistic view of socioeconomic changes in Japan tied to the world at large. I am also preparing the syllabus for the upcoming program on Indonesia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to this summer internship, I am also a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.carnegiecouncil.org\/programs\/asia\/delegates\/index.html\">Pacific Delegate<\/a> for the Council&#8217;s upcoming fact-finding trip to Tokyo this fall. For that, I will be researching the current impact of Prime Minister Abe&#8217;s &#8220;womenomics&#8221; policies.<\/p>\n<p>Being at the Carnegie Council requires being up-to-date on news and adaptable, so I have learned to receive and process information more quickly. Already I feel that this experience has helped me polish my skills in international affairs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Mary Vo at the Carnegie Council&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1528,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[21],"press-topic":[],"press-type":[172],"press-year":[181],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press\/1529"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/press"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1529"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1529"},{"taxonomy":"press-topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-topic?post=1529"},{"taxonomy":"press-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-type?post=1529"},{"taxonomy":"press-year","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.clementscenter.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/press-year?post=1529"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
