Abstract

<p>Drawing on experience implementing a Human Library and previous studies and research in the field regarding how best to support foreigners in the community and community building, the author reexamines awareness of the interwoven issues underlying a diverse society. This paper examines theories from several disciplines including Multiculturalism, Community Building and Disability Studies. By examining Japanese society through these perspectives, it is apparent how diverse Japan has become and how this diverse society is constantly changing. Furthermore, universities, responsible for educating the workforce which ultimately supports this growing multicultural Japanese society, are right there in the middle of the diversity itself.</p>
