I am a DPhil student at the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I specialise in contemporary Japanese literature and poetry, with a focus on ‘poetic spaces’ in the works of Saihate Tahi and Fuzuki Yumi among others. I studied in Oxford, Berlin, and Japan and just recently graduated from the IUC 10-month programme of intensive academic and professional Japanese training in Yokohama, administered by Stanford University.
