I joined GSICCS in April 2013 as one of the very first Master’s students. At the time, I did not know what to expect.
My aim was to study Japanese literature with a transcultural and multilingual focus. I found at GSICCS a team of committed professors who thoroughly supported my project and who guided me towards its completion with enthusiasm. GSICCS students come from diverse backgrounds and sharing their knowledge and experience was truly enriching.
I joined the Ph.D. program in 2015 and worked as Assistant Professor at Waseda SILS for two years after being awarded my degree. Since April 2020 I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor at Nihon University, teaching comparative literature in English.
I believe that being an alumna from GSICSS made a decisive impact on my profile as a foreign academic in Japan. It provided me with both solid disciplinary training and proficiency in written and oral English that is a necessary asset for any young professional.
My time at GSICCS has been essential in shaping the researcher I am today as it opened up new perspectives and made me discover world literature.
My current research focuses on Japanese literature from a global perspective which perfectly fits my professional profile and life experience.
