Message to Students

I am a researcher and practitioner of international education. I believe in the educational value of intercultural experience and have been committed to exploring mechanisms of personal growth through intercultural experiences and developing educational programs that assist students' learning and growth in cross-cultural environments. Furthermore, my experience of being a school principal (2017-2020: Ritsumeikan Primary School and Ritsumeikan Junior and Senior High School, 2021-present: Ritsumeikan Primary School) has given me invaluable opportunities to be involved in the actual personal development of various individuals. Such experiences motivated me to develop my unique career identity as "Interculturalist-Principal" contributing to the growth of students on various developmental stages.

Because of such personal background, I believe that GLA is an exciting learning community, where you, every student with unique background, can be an important part of cross-cultural learning environment. I look forward to talking with many of you!

Courses Taught

I enjoy teaching with a student-centered pedagogical approach. All of my courses are taught based on the following learning principles.

Cross-Cultural Learning
Students are encouraged to respect diverse cultural backgrounds of the classmates and learn from each other.

Collaborative Learning
Students are encouraged to help each other to maximize our learning.

Contents and Process Learning
Students are encouraged to learn not only from the contents of the course but also from the process of classroom interactions.

Research Interests

I have been working on various research topics related to international education from personal, organizational, and political perspectives. A list of publications is available at Ritsumeikan University Researcher Database.
