Personal profile

Current research

Uddannelsessystemet i Japan, herunder især emner der vedrører reform, globalisering og "moral education" en art "borgerlære", men med en moralsk dimension. Tidligere har jeg også arbejdet med private "efter-skole skoler", der tilbyder lektiehjælp, fritidsordning og eksamensforberedelse. Disse er analyseret i forhold til deres betydning for den japanske lovgivnings krav om lige adgang til uddannelserne, skolens muligheder for at fungere og i relation til deres selvopfattelse og udviklingsmuligheder.

Desuden arbejdes mere generelt med emner der berører opfattelsen af "den anden", social organisation og begrebet "orden" på individuelt og samfundsmæssigt niveau.

Primary fields of research

Japans moderne samfund generelt, politik, uddannelse og populærkultur i særdeleshed.
