| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
This project has produced a digital ethnography of the Nishi-Ogikubo culinary neighborhood, www.nishiogiology.org, which was recognized March 2023 by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs as an "exemplar of utilizing knowledge of Japanese food culture" (食文化「知の活用」振興事例). The Shanghai side of the fieldwork project, though halted because of COVID, also was recognized this year. My paper (“From Cooks to Chefs: Skilled Migrants in a Globalizing Culinary Field” Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Vol. 47, Issue 10, pp. 2359-2375) was awarded the prestigious 2023 Belasco Prize for Scholarly Excellence from the Association for the Study of Food and Society. I have published journal articles based on the project and received JSPS funding for a follow-up research.
