My major research topic is women's WWII literature in Japan, Britain, and Soviet Russia. With Digital Humanities methodologies, I study how women navigate agency and submission, differentiating their fiction from dominat male-centered canon of war literature. In other words, I study how women's fiction is organized in terms of character structure (demasculinization of narrative spaces) and emotional organization (sentiment protection) inside of the text.Â
Also, I study Arctic-related narratives in fiction, political discource and media. I study the formation of Japan's Arctic identity through the analysis of speeches in the National Diet and conduct an analysis of Russian expert discourse in general and specialized media. With HU Arctic Research Center, we are developing Digital Arctic Studies Research.
