What Do We Mean By Value Creation?

We are back with another episode in our What Do We Mean By..? series, this time unpacking the concept of value creation. Host Lillian Koizumi is joined by Dr. Nozomi Inukai, Translation, Research, and Instruction Faculty at the Institute for Daisaku Ikeda Studies in Education at DePaul University. In the episode, Dr. Inukai offers an in-depth and accessible explanation of what value creation means, how it can be put into practice, and what a value-creating society could look like. 

Dr. Inukai is also a former Japanese-English bilingual education elementary teacher and was a 2018-2020 Education Fellow at the Ikeda Center. She earned her PhD in Curriculum Studies from DePaul and has published in multiple edited volumes and scholarly journals including Schools: Studies in Education, Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, Journal of Language, Identity, and Education, and others.
