Research Supervisor Connect
I am a comparatist, working across contemporary texts in Japanese, English, French and Spanish. My first book examined the global literary response to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, with a focus on how the Japanese national brand and identity changed after this triple disaster. I am currently working on issues of (un)translatability in JP-EN literary translation. I have taught in a wide range of units at the University of Sydney at both undergraduate and graduate levels, in Japanese language and culture, Asian Studies, and ICLS. I am also a NAATI-certified Japanese-English translator.
