In times of uncertainty, I think it is time to update you on some happy news and things happening in 2020:
Update 1:As of April 1st 2020 I will start a new tenured position as Associate Professor at Senshu Universities’ new Faculty of Intercultural Communication and I am more than looking forward to teach young, upcoming students who want to explore the world and widen their horizons, making our globe hopefully a better place. We need new innovative ideas, in Japan especially.
Update 2:We are happy to announce that our edited book “Asian Alleyways: An Urban Vernacular in Times of Globalization” (Amsterdam University Press, with Marie Gibert-Flutre) will be in print soon, but under the current circumstances we have to wait for the confirmation fo the official release date.
Update 3:We are happy to announce that our co-authored book “Creativity in Tokyo – Revitalizing a Matured City” (Palgrave Macmillan, with Matjaz Ursic), will be published soon and we will announce the publication date as soon as we know more. We think that especially this book will help Tokyo and Japan to discover new ways to approach current challenges, regardless of what will happen to Tokyo 2021 #beyond2020
Looking forward to see what else 2020 (apart from some journal papers) will bring, not just work-wise. If you want to collaborate in any way, please get in touch. Many thanks to you all, stay safe and strong.
