Wakazawa, Yusuke

【慶應義塾大学での教育活動について】 文学部生を対象とした、英語科目を主に担当しています。年によっては、日吉キャンパスで初年次ゼミや文学科目、三田キャンパスでは英文学の関連科目を受け持つこともあります。英文リーディングという読みの経験を、「他者のことばへ応答する」契機として、テクストを共有する仲間たちと「ともに考える」体験として、生き生きと「ひらいて」いくことに情熱を注いでいます。

Yusuke Wakazawa is an intellectual historian of eighteenth-century Britain, chiefly of the Scottish Enlightenment, trained in Philosophy and English. He is particularly interested in David Hume as a distinctive man of letters, and discusses him along with representative figures of eighteenth-century literature including James Boswell and Tobias Smollett. He has studied and researched in three countries: the UK (Royal Holloway, University of London and the University of York), the US (New York University), and Japan (Keio University and the University of Tokyo). In 2019, he completed his JASSO-funded doctorate in the Department of English and Related Literature at the University of York. His current project aims to trace the intellectual genealogy of the Addisonian model of philosophy and conversation in the long eighteenth century. Prior to this job appointment at Keio University, he was a J. D. Fleeman Fellow at the University of St Andrews (2020) and an EAA Project Research Fellow at the University of Tokyo (2020-21).
