Tanaka Kyoko
After having studied and worked in different cities of Japan and abroad, I have settled myself in Nagoya. I have lived with and learned from people of wide range of cultural, linguistic, religious, and economical backgrounds, belonging to different generations, or sometimes physically challenged. Through this journey I experienced the dynamism of intercultural communication. My main research topic is concerning intercultural contacts, focusing on that of Latin America and Japan, and my educational responsibility is, in addition to lectures on intercultural communication, advising international students on their study and life.
