Diane, Yves, alumni, and friends in Japan

Diane Massam (faculty) and Yves Roberge (faculty, Department of French) gave talks in Tokyo this week, and also had the chance to meet up with good friends: Manami Hirayama (Ph.D. 2009, now at Seikei University), Midori Hayashi (Ph.D. 2011, now at Chukyo University) and Yuko Otsuka (Sophia University). They had lots of fun talking linguistics and touring Tokyo together!
