Reseach overview
My basic theme is the "sociology of life," centered on life story research. I have been interested in existential life generated from pathos experiences, encounters, and dialogues, and have been thinking about the state of contemporary society and way of life as back-illuminated by these experiences. In recent years, I have been following the practices of how non-Hibakusha (non-experiencers) can be involved in and pass on the A-bomb experiences as "their own thing," while considering the possibilities of communication and continuity of life, inheritance of memory, and social solidarity in these experiences.
