Time:2:45-4:30 p.m.
Description:In a seminar titled "Anglo-Japanese cultural relations, 1868-1950," Sheldon Garon discusses how the two "island empires" emulated each other's institutions and thinking at critical junctures.

Not only did the Japanese state learn from Victorian Britain's efforts to mold a thrifty, hardworking populace, but the British in turn were inspired by Japanese "national efficiency" in the Russo-Japanese War.

Garon is the Nissan professor of history and East Asian studies at Princeton University.
