Teaching and Research Fields
My research focuses on forced migration, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and Japan-Arab relations. Armed conflicts, human rights violations, and environmental disasters continue to displace millions around the world, resulting in both internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees/asylum seekers. I examine the underlying drivers of forced migration, host countries’ asylum and socioeconomic integration policies, and the daily challenges faced by the displaced people, with a particular emphasis on the situation in Japan. Additionally, my research explores governance and democratization processes in the MENA region in the aftermath of the Arab Spring, assessing Japan’s interests and foreign policy engagement in the region.
