Kawashima Midori is Professor in the Faculty of Global Studies of Sophia University. She obtained a Bachelor’s degree in social anthropology from Tokyo Metropolitan University in 1975, and a Master’s degree in international relations from Tokyo University in 1985. She specializes in Southeast Asian studies, in particular Philippine politics and modern history, with a special focus on Islam and Muslims in the Philippines. She has written extensively on these subjects, both in Japanese and English.

Her current research includes political, social, and religious movements and thoughts of Muslims in the Philippines, and the networks linking Mindanao with other parts of Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East.
