I was interviewed for the final episode of this season of Voices in Japanese Studies (VIJS). I spoke with the hosts, Anna Vittinghoff and Matt Loten, about my life in Japanese Studies, how I got here, why I chose Japanese Studies, and how I balances my roles at Cardiff and the British Association for Japanese Studies (BAJS) with my personal life and “my second life” (as the podcast called it) as an author of novels.
You can access the podcast here: Dr Christopher Hood (Cardiff University)
The series of podcasts, which were funded by BAJS as part of a project looking at Japanese Studies in the UK, have been wonderful listening and I would recommend that you listen to the other episodes with
Dr Mark Pendleton (University of Sheffield)
Dr Erica Baffelli (University of Manchester)
Dr Victoria Young (Selwyn College, University of Cambridge)
Dr Sherzod Muminov (University of East Anglia)
Dr Jennifer Coates (SEAS, University of Sheffield)
