Biographical Statement

I entered the University of Sydney in 1980 after completing one year of Rotary Exchange in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, and graduated with a BAHons degree in 1986. My undergraduate study included two years of study in Japan with the assistance of a Rotary International Foundation Scholarship (1984-5), during which time I studied at both the International Christian University in Mitaka, Tokyo and Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.

I continued my research into Japanese modern literature with a PhD at the University of Sydney with the assistance of an Australian Commonwealth Postgraduate Scholarship. My postgraduate research included two years as a research student in the Comparative Literature and Culture Department of the University of Tokyo in Japan, funded by a Mombusho Postgraduate Research Scholarship. I completed my PhD, entitled ‘A stray dog howling at the moon – A literary biography of Hagiwara Sakutaro’ in 1996.

After a few years working as a translator and interpreter in Tokyo, working primarily for the then Ministry of International Trade and Industry, I began my career as an academic, and have now taught at both the ANU and the University of Durham, UK, since 1996.

Research interests

I am currently conducting research in the work of the Taisho poet Hagiwara Sakutaro, focusing on his contribution to modern Japanese poetry and the ‘modernist’ movement in Japan. I am also working in the field of postwar Japanese literature and film, focusing on the portrayal of the Pacific War in cultural production.

I have recently begun to publish in the area of e-Teaching and e-Learning, focusing on the relationship between flexible, online learning to student motivation and second language acquisition.
