My research area is Korean Peninsula, and I lived in South Korea for 6 years in total. I research cases from both political and historical perspectives. These days, I am also interested in National Security and Human Security related to the area. I teach “International Relations,” “International Development,” and “Area Studies in Korean Peninsula” at university. I also teach East Asia studies in my zemi (2-year-seminar).
