About
Welcome!
My name is Tate Kihara (pronounced Tah-tay Key-ha-rah), and I am an Assistant Professor (sennin-kōshi in Japanese) in the Graduate School of Media and Governance (with a joint appointment in the undergraduate Faculty of Policy Management) at Keio University’s Shonan Fujisawa Campus.
Sociologist and social demographer by training, my research examines international migration to and from Japan in both historical and contemporary contexts, with a particular focus on its relationship to social inequality. My works have been published in Demography, International Migration Review, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, among others.
Born in Kyoto, Japan, I have received my education in Japan, Canada, and the United States. Prior to starting my current position, I was a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute of Social Science, The University of Tokyo. I received my Ph.D. from Brown University in Providence, RI, and my M.A. and B.A. from The University of Tokyo.
