Aya Kimura (JP)

Aya Kimura (JP) holds a master’s degree from the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Public Policy. She wrote an essay for the Symposium entitled “No More Curators at Public Museums will Mature Society.” “Many museum specialists tend to be women, but at the same time, at the administrative or director level there are many more men. It’s the same in my studies: We have many more female students, but they are not always going on to be professionals. Often it happens that they study culture and go into the household. If only one part of society or of an organization is dominated by women, things won’t change.
