I am Professor of Applied Linguistics at Ryukoku University in Kyoto, Japan, where I am in charge of a range of applied linguistics courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as supervise master’s and doctoral students. I received my PhD in language teaching and learning from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. My research and teaching interests lie in the areas of teacher education, teacher research, and qualitative research methods (in particular, narrative inquiry and classroom-based research). Recent book publications include: Narrative inquiry into language teacher identity: ALTs in the JET program (Routledge) and Team teachers in Japan: Beliefs, identities, and emotions (Routledge).
