At the Graduate School of International Culture and Communication Studies (GSICCS),
my research field was about the presidential elections in Africa.
Besides using the standard election data, special attention had been paid to the
national characteristics of the voters, and a comparative case study of Kenya and Ghana.
Currently working for NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) as a TV program director, my primary role is to produce programs based on overseas news at the international news department.
My job has benefitted tremendously from my experiences at GSICCS.
Firstly, as GSICCS fully respects our research interests, we are able to probe deeper into niche topics. As a result, I chose to focus on African Politics, which has grown to become my strength.
Despite being young and new to the job, I am able to contribute significantly to my department with my knowledge of Africa.
Secondly, in GSICCS it is possible to participate in many lively discussions with students from different cultural backgrounds from all over the world. Many thought-provoking and open-ended themes are introduced in the classroom. In any television program production, the end-result will remain a mystery until the editing is complete.
My current job requires me to conduct interviews with people from all walks of life and to derive at the “best answers”.
My GSICCS experience has given me that extra advantage.
Frequent overseas travel, especially to African countries, to produce television programs, will be my ideal future. As a graduate from GSICCS, I am confident that this goal can and will be achieved.
