My interests in Japanese Literature is broad, from courtly romances of the classical period, to warrior tales of the medieval period, to the playful illustrated works of the early modern period. I particularly enjoy analyzing these materials from a Queer and Gender Studies lens. I particularly enjoy the experience of working with undergraduate students and helping them understand different ways of approaching materials that are written in a different time and place from their own, and have been a teaching assistant for many courses at UW and my previous universities, from introductory courses in Japanese Classics to Manga. I spent two years at Waseda University conducting research for my dissertation on bawdy verse of the early modern period.
