SHIRAHASE Sawako
Graduate School of Humanities and Sociology, The University of Tokyo
Sociology, Social Stratification, Social Demography, Change in Family and Social System
My major is sociology, and I in particular have worked on social stratification and demographic transformation, represented by the decline in fertility rate and aging population. Inequality and Disparity are both old and new topics, and they are serious social problems which have not been solved quite a while. I welcome innovative studies about these social issues commonly found in our planet particularly by comparing with Japan.

My research focuses on how political institutions are designed, and how they channel public preferences into political outcomes.
OKAZAKI Tetsuji
Graduate School of Economics, The University of Tokyo
Japanese Economic History, Comparative Economic History
I have been studying the Japanese economic development in a comparative institutional perspective, particularly in relation to the history of finance, employment, corporations, and industrial policy. In recent years, my research interests have been extending to spatial and political aspects of economic history.
SAITO Mareshi

Chinese Literature, East Asian Classical Studies
I have high hopes that this center will bring a new perspective not only to Japanese studies but also to humanities with a broad view of East Asia.
