Profile

I was a JSPS Research Fellow PD at Seikei University between 2021-2023. In 2018-2021, I was a research assistant at Waseda University where I received my PhD in Politics in 2021 (“Critical methodology in critical theory: Reconstructive critique in Habermas and Honneth”). From 2016-2017, I was a visiting researcher at Goethe University Frankfurt.

Research /
educational interests

I have research interests ranging across political philosophy, critical theory, feminist philosophy, and social philosophy of Jürgen Habermas and Axel Honneth. I focus especially on issues of methodology of political theory, structural power, social criticism, recognition theory, and epistemic injustice. Recently I published the article “Recognition, power, and trust: Epistemic structural account of ideological recognition” (2023) in Constellations.
