発表概要:
Using basic sociological ideas about globalization, this talk will reflect on two different components of my research on Japan and Japanese Studies. First, Japanese Studies has been the most studied and well-documented area studies field in the United States. As a participant observer and scholar, I have traced the domestic growth and change in Japanese Studies in the United States and Canada through a series of surveys funded by the Japan Foundation from the late 1980s through 2016. These studies have documented that Japanese Studies is already thoroughly globalized as a field of study and an academic community. Second, in my longterm research on the Japanese New Left, a globalization perspective has led me to ask different questions and pursue new directions. Globalization has broad implications for research, teaching, and networks of interaction in the study of Japan. The University of Tokyo’s program in Global Japan Studies has a role to play in all of these areas.
