Can Japanese Food Culture Help Save the Planet?
About the Author
Since first working in Japan in 1995 and joining the JET Program from 1996-1999, Dylan Rhoads has built upon his background in Japanese language and culture as part of the interactive entertainment industry for over 20 years, working with many video game companies in different parts of Japan, the United States, and Europe. Through his travels, Dylan was struck by both differences and similarities between foreign cultures and his own family’s long history in the United States. Dylan holds a B.S. in Computer Science from William & Mary with secondary concentration in East Asian Studies and Japanese, and earned his M.B.A. from the University of Washington in 2013.
About JETs on Japan
JETs on Japan is a partnership between USJETAA and Sasakawa Peace Foundation USA (Sasakawa USA) that features selected articles of JET alumni perspectives on US-Japan relations. The series aims to elevate the awareness and visibility of JET alumni working across diverse sectors and provides a platform for JET alumni to contribute to a deeper understanding of US-Japan relations from their fields. The articles will be posted on USJETAA’s website to serve as a resource to the wider JET alumni and US-Japan communities on how alumni of this exchange program are continuing to serve as informal ambassadors in US-Japan relations.
Submissions are encouraged from mid-to-senior level professionals who are established in the current fields OR current/recent graduate degree students in both master’s and doctoral programs.
