But it is perhaps less well-known that for several years, regional SASE conferences have been taking place in Latin America.  SASE sponsored its third biennial Ibero-American regional conference at Universidad […] Book Review Too Few Women at the Top by Kumiko Nemoto Ithaca NY, ILR Press, 2016, 296p. Too Few Women at the Top is a must-read both for those interested in gender segregation in the workplace and those concerned with Japanese political economy. Kumiko Nemoto has succeeded in treating both issues in her book. We can discern […] Interview with SASE President Gary Herrigel   “In general, I am more interested in identifying possibilities for inclusion and change rather than being satisfied with more conventional left and social democratic concerns for “critique” or identifying how bad capitalism is now or how even worse it is becoming.”     Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your intellectual […] Meet the Editors The SASE Newsletter is created by a dynamic group of graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from both sides of the Atlantic, aided and abetted by the SASE staff.
