Outline of Research at the Start

Study of in Asia and in Western Europe, and international mobility of foreign faculty in higher educational institutions, to identity universal factors of integration.

Comprehensive data from Europe and Asia will be reported in research articles and books in English and Japanese.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Due to the global Covid19 pandemic the prospect of obtaining empirical results from research on international faculty mobility became problematic. I had little choice but to begin research in another area of interest in my overseas location--the positionality of the Catalan language within the society of Catalonia and view of recent immigrants regarding the importance of learning and using Catalan in their daily lives. I spent the summer of 2020 doing an extensive literature review, and began a survey of foreign residents in Catalonia in September, 2020. Results were obtained by October and a research report was written and submitted to a number of academic journals, however nothing has been published as of yet.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

4: Progress in research has been delayed.

Reason

The global Covid19 pandemic not only made it extremely difficult to research this topic and attend conferences, it also drastically changed the potential results from research on international faculty mobility.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

This academic year I intend to finally do interviews with foreign faculty in Japan, which was made easier not that I (principle investigator) have moved back to Japan. Interviews will be conducted from May, 2020 to September. Analysis of interview transcripts will be done in October to November of 2021 and reports on the result will be written and hopefully published in January and February. Results will also be presented at an international or domestic conference during winter or early spring 2021.
