Godzilla and Generational Trauma in Postwar Japan: From Hiroshima to Fukushima (Virtual)

Since Godzilla’s first appearance 70 years ago in the classic Gojira (1954), the King of the Monsters has become a cinematic icon and a globally recognized symbol of Japan. But what can a giant, fire-breathing movie monster tell us about Japan’s national experience of terror and trauma from the atomic bombings of 1945 through the Fukushima nuclear meltdown of 2011? This talk will explore how the 35 live-action Godzilla films can help us understand Japan’s resilience in the face of nuclear catastrophes, the transmission of generational trauma in Japanese society after World War II, and the ways we all address our fears through the imaginary monsters of popular culture.

Hofstra Law alumna Beverly Baker Jackson '97 shares how she has made giving back to others a core value in both her personal and professional life.

“Life does not come full circle until you reach back, and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed. To me, giving is as natural as breathing. I give not only to help others, but also to encourage others to give.”
