経歴
Prof. Brooks attained his DPhil (PhD) in Medieval English Literature at the University of Oxford in 2017. After graduating, he took up a position at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he founded the research collective Converging Epistemologies, which seeks to bring together scholars, artists, and business people to engage with issues at the forefront of our contemporary dialogue. He then moved to teach English language and literature at the University of Tokyo, while continuing to pursue his research in medieval literature and ecocriticism. Currently, he is an Associate Professor at Kyushu University’s Faculty of Languages and Cultures, where he teaches various courses, including English speaking and listening, and literature and the environment. His current research seeks to explore the relationship between humanity and the oceans, with the goal of bringing together different ideas, perspectives, and skills to face the many problems our oceans currently face.
メッセージ
Having grown up in Hawaii, been trained in England, and now working in Japan, I am well aware of the necessity and difficulty of cross-cultural communication, and how that communication is essential for people to work together. In my classes, we will focus on several Japanese companies by examining their corporate messages. Through analysis of their mission statements in English, students will learn how to adapt and employ the communication strategies of Japanese companies like these in an increasingly globalized world.
