Specialization/Discipline
Social and Cultural Studies, Modernization of Non-Western Societies, Family Studies
Research Topic
My specialization includes two main research areas: pre-modern Asian history, as well as modern social, cultural, linguistic studies. By having established various international research hubs, I am currently conducting research studies in both fields. One refers to an international study of (pre-)modern China's relationship with her neighbouring countries, while another one pertains to the study of the social transformation of socialist and post-socialist societies (so-called transitional societies) such as China, Vietnam, as well as East-European countries.
Message for Applicants
In the midst of globalization, there is a growing need for knowledge on general social trends with a global perspective, as well as on the character of inter-cultural relations. In my classes, I aim to help the students develop an ability to be insightful about essential social and cultural trends both in Japan and in a global context so that they can easily orient themselves in our changing world. I put emphasis on interactive education, and I encourage the students to feel free to ask questions and tell about their opinions.
