Profile When I was an undergraduate student, I studied James Joyce in the Department of English Literature at Tokyo Metropolitan University. Later, I studied British literature and critical theory in the doctoral program at Tsukuba University. I wrote my master's thesis on James Joyce. Through my research at the graduate school, I was inspired to start studying modernist literature. I took a leave of absence from Tsukuba University and enrolled in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the United States. My advisor at the University of Wisconsin was Professor Ihab Hassan. For my master's thesis, I wrote a paper on portraits of British and American artists' novels. I am currently working on my doctoral thesis to be submitted to the University of Tsukuba Graduate School. I will be submitting it to the graduate school of the University of Tsukuba soon. The theme of my dissertation is the study of the liberal arts novel in modernist literature. In the past five years, I have written papers on James Joyce, Henry James, Oscar Wilde, Theodore Dreiser, Scott Fitzgerald, George Eliot, and Jean Rhys. I am currently continuing my study of railroads and pandemics in modernist literature.
