Profile: My research deals in great part with international actor’s (both national and subnational) pursuit of status and prestige in international and regional societies. My PhD thesis explored the concept of national prestige in Japanese parliamentary discourse. As part of an EWIS workshop project I am currently exploring the formalization, proliferation, and contestation of status symbols in East Asia, as well as working with the concept of stigma-management within a larger status-research framework.
