Faculty of Letters English and American Literature Associate Professor

Research Overview

I am hopefully trying to grasp the historically complicated cross-hybridity of American literature and Canadian literature, with a particular focus on Native American/Canadian literature. This primary interest has developed into another direction: cultural transactions across the Pacific. I am especially interested in cultural exchanges between the U.S., Canada and Japan as well as Japanese American/Canadian literature. I also have to confess my fascination with kappa, or a Japanese water sprite.
