As a social and cultural psychologist, I explore contemporary issues in Japan, Korea, and often globally in collaboration with international teams. My research themes include mutual understandings in intercultural relations, environmental psychology, perceptions of future society, and the cultural meaning of happiness. You can find a full list of my publications on my university profile or Researchgate pages. At the Global Education Office, I provide support for international activities and collaborations involving students and faculty members within our Graduate School of Education. Additionally, I teach courses such as “International Internship I & II” and “International Fieldwork I & II.” If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us first through the Question form on our website.

In recent years, we have seen a trend toward the expansion of vocational education and its providers in the higher education system, and I am interested in understanding the various actors involved and the directions in which they are working. Based on the research of China, I am conducting an international comparison of the development mechanism of higher vocational education in East Asia, as well as the “view of higher education” and “view of vocation” in each country. Here is more information. In this office, I support students’ study and international exchange programs.
