教育・研究活動状況
My research explores the interactions between travel writing and Oriental fiction in the long eighteenth century, focusing on narratives of China, Japan, and the Ottoman Empire. More recently, I have been working on nineteenth-century "globe-trotter" travel writing, particularly narratives written in the decades after the opening of Japan in the 1850s. I'm currently editing a volume on Pacific travel writing.
