My research broadly focuses on the development of transnational networks that support environmental and social justice.
こんな研究をしています
I am fascinated with developing the critical and creative thinking skills of Japanese youth to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. My current research focuses on both teacher training programs and program development for young children, mainly in the fields of nature-based education (such as Forest Kindergarten) and music education that stresses creating music (mainly modern music such as electronica and hip-hop) as opposed to performing music. I have currently applied for a multi-year grant to explore how children explore both traditional instruments (such as violin, drums, and flutes) as well as electronic instruments (samplers, drum machines, and synthesizers)
受験生?在学生にひとこと
The most important time in anyone’s life is from the six months before they are born until age five. Therefore, the students of our program have perhaps the most important responsibility in the world – making sure children develop into strong, resilient, and creative people. I hope to have the chance to help you develop your own resilience, intellect, and confidence so that you can meet this challenge.
