専門分野 Academic interests
- Primarily, I’m interested in how people interact and communicate with people from different backgrounds. I'm particularly interested in problems relating to language and communication occurring in real-life intercultural contact situations and how people manage those problems. I’m also interested in how interactions are influenced by socio-cultural, economic, political and ideological forces.
I use Language Management Theory (Jernudd & Neustupný 1987) extensively in my research and I have investigated a wide range of contexts, including the management of 'foreignness' (including perceptions of ethnic and racial difference), the management of language and power in intercultural interactions, the management of English as a lingua franca (i.e. between two non-native speakers of English), the management of language and communication in multilingual workplaces in Japan and the management of Japanese students studying at universities overseas. I am also currently researching English language policy in Japan and its relationship to issues of native-speakerism.

Cultures of the English-Speaking World (英米文化入門)
In Cultures of the English-Speaking World, a compulsory course for first-year students, we learn about the cultures and societies of countries where English is used as an official language. We investigate how people in the English-speaking world think about and act towards particular issues, and why they do so. Students are encouraged to conduct their own research, relating to their interests, and present their findings to the class.Intercultural Interaction and the Sociolinguistics Seminar
Intercultural Interaction and the Sociolinguistics Seminar are the two specialized courses related most closely to my research interests. In both courses, we look at how language and communication are related to the broader social context and we examine how and why particular language and communication-related problems arise. In both of these courses, students conduct their own research projects relating to their individual interests and analyse samples of actual language use and/or interaction.
