AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how society is seen through language.
The Ishikura Lab studies, from a sociological perspective, how people perceive and understand society.
Drawing on the sociology of social consciousness and discourse analysis, the lab has clarified the logic of that understanding and the forms taken by the social imagination.
Its subjects so far include the family, detective fiction, and theories of the information society.
The lab also pursues quantitative research on people's behavioral choices and how they view their lives, and continues regional surveys in Japan in collaboration with other universities and research institutions.
