Research interests: Modern Japanese-language prose; art and capitalism; the flow of literary works throughout the larger Japanese linguistic community; the function of power in the literary field; and theories of diaspora and heterogeneity, particularly as they challenge culturalist concepts of national identity.

Current Research Projects: The function of Japanese-language literature outside the nation-state, focusing on the production and consumption of literary texts from both within and without Japan in Brazil and the United States.
