Isami Sawai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Sawai Lab studies the political and diplomatic history of Japan and the history of international relations in East Asia. Working in the area where history, political science, and international law overlap, it conducts research closely grounded in historical sources. The periods covered range from the late early modern era to the present, and the main themes are politics, diplomacy, international relations, and empire and colonies. The lab has research themes for each of three periods: the late 19th century, the postwar era, and the present.
Takeo Suzuki, Lecturer

The Suzuki Lab studies the history of people who resisted in pursuit of fairness. Its specialty is modern and contemporary Western history, particularly German history, and it focuses on socialists who were active in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. The lab pays particular attention to small socialist organizations and their intellectual background. In parallel, it also explores ways to support graduate students in strengthening their teaching skills.
Fumie Wakamatsu, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Wakamatsu Lab studies how people use language when they communicate with each other. It is particularly interested in spoken Japanese and carries out discourse analysis of actual conversations. The lab has investigated where and how expressions such as "nanka," "e," and "eeto" are used in conversation. In the field of Japanese language education, it is also involved in efforts to support the learning of graduate students in science and engineering and of international students.
Kentaro Nagahara, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Nagahara Lab studies educational technology, mathematics education, and nonlinear analysis, with mathematics as its foundation. The lab values both research that thinks deeply about theoretical questions and practical research such as teaching material development, lesson design, and learning assessment. In mathematics itself, the lab works on nonlinear analysis of reaction-diffusion equations and multi-patch models on networks. Established in the 2022 academic year (Reiwa 4), it is a new lab, and there is room for members to develop research that draws on their own interests.
Masaki Takahashi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Takahashi Lab studies the interaction between nutrition and eating habits and the circadian clock (chrono-nutrition). It also studies the interaction between exercise and physical activity and the circadian clock (chrono-exercise). Centered on experimental and epidemiological studies in humans, the lab conducts research in collaboration with researchers in Japan and abroad. Its work includes building a clinical foundation for chrono-nutrition, eating habits with a focus on the menstrual cycle and low body weight, and exercise and physical activity based on the circadian clock.
Yoshimi Takuwa, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Takuwa Lab studies the history of science as a perspective for continuing to work within the ever-changing world of "science." Its specialty is the history of science, particularly the history of physics in the 17th and 18th centuries, with Newton's research on light as the central theme. Old texts often do not record failed experiments or theories that turned out to be wrong. The lab therefore uses replication experiments and simulations to fill in what was never written down as it investigates.
Ryoichi Yamane, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yamane Lab studies American literature and American cultural history. It focuses on the social networks surrounding people involved in publishing, such as authors, editors, and publishers. The lab examines how those connections shaped whether American authors were judged favorably or poorly. Literature of the American South, and Cold War culture and the practices of printing and publishing, are also research themes.
Kyohhei Kitamura, Professor
0 student voices
The Kitamura Lab thinks about film as art and about images found in society. It explores the relationships between images and culture, and between media and society, from a historical perspective. In addition to film studies, it draws on cultural representation studies, media studies, and historical sociology. It has dealt with themes such as film actresses and stars, popular culture, gender, and censorship.
磯﨑 憲一郎, Professor
0 student voices
Isozaki Lab studies the principles by which a novel is generated and the structural uniqueness of the novel as a form of expression. A distinctive feature of the lab is that it approaches works from the standpoint of a practicing writer, that is, someone who writes novels. Without relying on existing knowledge of literary history or its mapping of works, the lab reads closely, staying with the works themselves. The lab welcomes students who want to actively think for themselves about the question “What is a novel?”
Yuto Koizumi, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Koizumi Lab investigates how the problems of contemporary society are examined and questioned in literature, theater, and film. Its specialty is early modern English drama, especially Shakespeare's plays and the films based on them. The lab also explores ways to invigorate English education by drawing on the humanities. It also works on English classes that use films as teaching material, and on instruction that builds academic writing skills.
