Profile
Research – I am a U.S.-trained sociologist specializing in social gerontology (ageing studies) and social/public policy from a cross-national comparative perspective. From 1999 through 2014 I designed and conducted various international research projects as a member of the Center for Retirement Research and Global Institute, Sloan Center on Aging & Work, both of which are at Boston College (Massachusetts). I also helped to newly launch The Institute of Gerontology as an associate professor at the University of Central Missouri. My peer-reviewed journal articles are published in the Journal of Population Ageing, Global Social Policy, and Journal of Aging & Social Policy, to name a few. Representative academic volumes include Retirement in Japan and South Korea: The Past, the Present, and the Future of Mandatory Retirement (2015, Routledge) and Ageing in Asia-Pacific: Interdisciplinary and Comparative Perspectives (2018, Routledge). I am affiliated with various professional academic organizations including, among others, The International Association for Gerontology and Geriatrics, The Gerontological Society of America and American Sociological Association. Also, since April 2019, I have participated in Kyushu University Institute for Asian and Oceania Studies (Q-AOS), in which I serve as Chief Researcher of Module Ageing & Later Life, a unit housed in the Medicine & Health Cluster. Main research grants I have received include KAKEN (MEXT) Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research A (as a Collaborator), B (as Principal Investigator) and C (as Principal Investigator). Teaching – Prior to joining Kyushu University I taught a number of courses in social sciences, sociology courses in particular, at Boston College (MA), Emerson College (MA), Pine Manor College (MA), Anderson University (SC), and the University of Central Missouri (MO), among other institutions in the United States. Most of the courses I have taught to date – including those at Kyushu University – are in social sciences including sociology, social policy, and social gerontology with an explicit focus on an international and global perspective. Especially since joining Kyushu University in 2014, I have served as Primary Faculty Coordinator for Japan in Today’s World (JTW), a one-year, English-taught study program for exchange students from the University’s main partner institutions around the world. As part of my core duties for this program, I offer courses on social problems, including population aging, of contemporary Japan and some other East Asian countries from a critical, global/cross-national comparative perspective.

    Language：English   Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)  

    Today, Japan stands as the world’s leading super-aged society. In the coming decade, preceding the rest of the aging globe, the country will phase into the next demographic stage, called a ‘death-laden’ society. Due in part to the aging and prospective mortality of the country’s two major baby boom generations along with a projected decline in the number of the working age population, Japan will be laden with ballooning deaths from old age from 2030 onward for several decades to come. Only in recent years have researchers started paying attention to this demographic prospect, and to date little study has been done to systematically examine how the coming of a death-laden society may affect the health, wellbeing, and comfort of those in advanced age in the country. This paper aims to contribute to the newly emerging body of literature on this subject by outlining, based mainly on findings from expert interviews, five key areas of policy challenges with which Japan’s death-laden society will likely contend. These challenges include: (1) shortages in basic medical resources for the dying; (2) mounting public burden of disease; (3) potential prevalence of ‘lonely deaths’ among the elderly; (4) urgency to facilitate national discussions on end-of-life options; and (5) crematorium shortages and their cultural impact. Future research is called for to help mitigate the impact of a death-laden society not only for Japan but also for other countries that may follow Japan’s demographic path in the conceivable future.

    Japan In Today’s World (JTW) has a significant link to Kyushu University’s KIKAN education. As the University’s representative, English-taught study program for exchange students from its leading partner institutions around the word, JTW serves as an integral part of the KIKAN education curriculum and uniquely contributes to pursuing its overarching missions of nurturing students’ cross-cultural competencies through diverse courses in general education. Our current era is marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, an unprecedented public health crisis that has constrained nearly all aspects of social activities around the world. Drawing on original data gathered through a program evaluation survey (n=22) and a series of Focus Group interviews (n=12), this article first overviews the ways in which the ongoing global public health crisis has affected the operation of JTW, particularly from April through July 2020, and the learning experiences of its participants. Based on the findings from analyzing those data, this article then discusses, albeit preliminarily, key lessons for its continuous, effective operation in a “post-pandemic age” to come. Those lessons are found in three areas that are essential components of the program: lessons for (1) the JTW core courses; (2) student-to-student cross-cultural exchange; and (3) immersion experience activities. These lessons may also serve as a potentially valuable source of knowledge to further strengthen the role of KIKAN education in coming years.

    This study explores the lived experiences of Asian female migrants, focusing on the well-being of aged care workers in Australia from a culturally and linguistically diverse background using a social resilience framework. This qualitative study utilized in-depth interviews and fieldwork observation of seven female migrant caregivers of Asian descent living in a regional area in Australia. The qualitative study design sought to gain rapport and trust with a group often facing gendered and racialised negative stereotyping. Three narratives of migrant women were selected to illustrate how they overcame challenges faced as migrants and as aged care workers to gain a sense of well-being and social resilience as a progression from coping, adapting to transformation. Three themes from the narratives are discussed: long-term career outlook; overcoming language barriers; and the cultural value of caring for the elderly. Compared to previous literature on female migrant aged care workers in regional Australia, our findings show that those of Asian descent were able to draw upon individual and cultural values as well as support networks both in the community and workplace and ultimately social resilience. Understanding the nature of coping, adaptation and transformation through these narratives provides knowledge that can aid not only in policy decisions to support quality caregiving practices in ageing Australian regional communities but also provide an important global comparative perspective for other countries with ageing populations reliant on a racialized and feminized labor migration from developing Asian countries.

    The use of students’ first language (L1) to learn their second language has been a controversial issue in ELT (English Language Teaching) literature and academic discussions. The following article investigates published research that was carried out on the use of L1 for teaching and learning English language within the last 35 years until 2018, mainly focusing on EFL (English as a foreign language) learning in Japan. The paper concludes that English should be clearly prioritized as the main language used in the EFL classroom, and also that students’ L1 is a rich resource and linguistic foundation which should be used for learning English.

    2015.2 - 2019.1

    　 More details

    Authorship：Principal investigator 

    In the midst of global trends of population aging and delaying workers’ retirement, will Japan soon follow the emerging global trend of abolishing mandatory retirement in the labor market? Using interviews and surveys, this research will explore workers’ attitudes toward mandatory retirement in Japan, which has largely been understudied in the corpus of retirement research to date. This research will also include the cases of Korea and Canada both as points of cross-national comparison and also as a pilot study for a future, larger-scale international survey project aiming to predict the future of mandatory retirement, which still powerfully affects the economic and social well-being of older workers and their families in many countries around the world today.

    　 More details

    Grant type：Scientific research funding

    近年国際社会では、高年齢者・障害者雇用において、差別禁止法に基づく政策への収斂が 起きている。だが、先駆国においてでさえ同法の効果に懐疑的な研究報告がある。本研究の目的は、企業の人事管理および組織における人間行動の本質に着目し、何が法や政策の効果を促進あるいは減退させるのかを、国際比較調査から定量・定性的に探究し、差別是正と雇用促進の道筋を理論的・実証的に導くことにあった。調査分析を通じて、最終的には、人々の思考、心理、行動というミクロの集積がマクロを形成しており、したがって、政策策定においては、複雑な人間行動を観察し、その特質を織り込むことが重要との結論を得た。

Educational Activities

  • My teaching and instructional activities are dedicated mostly to international education both for international and domestic students. I offer a wide range of sociology courses taught in English (e-courses) aiming to help students deepen their understanding of social trends, problems, and future prospects of contemporary Japan and other East Asian countries from a critical, global/cross-national comparative perspective (mainly referring to the United States as a point of comparison). My regular courses include, but are not limited to, Aging & the Life Course in Japan, Japan & Globalization, Ethnicity, Minority & Diversity in Japan, and Sociology of Japanese Daily Life Today. The main platform of my teaching and advising for international students is my role as the primary faculty coordinator of the Japan in Today’s World (JTW) Program, Kyushu University’s premier, one-year study program mainly for exchange students selected from the University’s leading partner institutions around the world. I also regularly offer Contemporary American Society: A Sociological Introduction and Current Affairs of ASEAN and East Asia. Effective international education requires continuous improvement of instructional skills and methods; I regularly revise the contents of my courses and update my pedagogy to meet my students’ ever-changing and diverse academic needs and interests.
