EPISODE 13 🌺 Okinawa (mis) Representation in Media
Do you remember the first time you saw Okinawa in media or pop culture? Was it represented the way you experienced it to be?

Join us for a multi-dimensional conversation as we bring together three esteemed guest speakers in their fields: Risako Sakai, Elaine Cromie, and Ako Castuera. In this episode, moderated by special guest Laura Dux, we will dive into the complex topic of ‘Okinawan representation and misrepresentation in media’, and explore through each of our guests’ unique lived experiences and critical lenses spanning across academia, journalism, and entertainment.
