• Asada Rei

    After graduating from university, consulted for NGOs and ODA agencies on development assistance for developing nations, including postings in Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. While pursuing her master’s degree, she became aware of the depopulation throughout rural Japan and studied the abandonment of resources in these areas. Recognizing that development can concentrate attention on cities and neglect rural areas, she became interested in approaches to development that allow for rural sustainability. Currently pursuing a public policy doctoral degree at the University of Tokyo. Cooks a formidable Sri Lankan curry. Can be contacted at askasada555[at]gmail.com.
