Research Interest
:My majors include sociological theory, history of sociology, and sociology of science. Since my master's degree, I have been researching how the theory of the third wave of science, proposed by British sociologist Harry Collins and others, has developed. In summary, this theory points out commonalities between the values of the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, and the values of the liberal democratic system. I am interested in the validity of this theory.
In addition, wave 3 theory extends to the field of posthuman studies, such as AI and robots, and I am conducting research from this cutting-edge perspective.
Furthermore, the research into the history of academic theories and sociological theory, I am also venturing into empirical qualitative and quantitative surveys, and I am committed to my research and teaching activities in the entire Tohoku region as my main field.
