While #MeToo movement has emerged as a significant global phenomenon since late 2017, Japan initially exhibited a notably muted response. This stands in stark contrast to neighboring South Korea, where the movement ignited a powerful wave of revelations, empowering women to break their silence. However, the persistent efforts of courageous women like Shiori Ito, coupled with a series of controversial not-guilty verdicts in sexual assault cases, eventually catalyzed a shift in Japan.

Over three decades, Robert Nickelsberg shot photos of insurgents and counter-insurgents in El Salvador, Iraq and Afghanistan for Time magazine. For this event, he will present B&W images of the Salvadoran civil war and go into what they tell us about the choices facing Salvadorans. U.S. support for a rightwing dictatorship not only motivated many to flee to the U.S., Nickelsberg will argue, but also laid the groundwork for present-day chaos at the southern border.

She holds a Bachelor’s in International Politics and Economics from Middlebury College (‘12) and a Master’s in International Economics from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (‘17).
