|---|---|---|
| Luli van der DOES | Associate Professor (Memory Studies, Social Psychology, Discourse Analysis) | My research explores the nexus of mind and society focusing on the transient linguistic, visual and/or sensory representations of memory and their interactive roles in the formation process of individual or collective cultural consciousness. I am particularly interested in how memory is used for the survival of individuals and communities in real or potential conflict/disaster situations that accompany traumatic experiences. To that end, I specialize in a cross-disciplinary methodology with quantitative cum qualitative text analytics to investigate representations of memory in the media, education, tourism, and heritage projects. My current project focuses on legitimization processes of memory-based social identity that impact both localized and transboundary peace initiatives. |
| Hirofumi TOSAKI | Associate Professor (Nuclear arms control, disarmament, non-proliferation, nuclear strategy and deterrence theory) | My research primarily focuses on security issues, with a particular emphasis on nuclear arms control, disarmament, non-proliferation, nuclear strategy and deterrence theory. |
| Vladisaya Bilyanova VASILEVA | Assistant Professor (Hibakusha (Atomic Bomb Survivor) Studies and Peace Studies) | I aim to develop research in the fields of hibakusha (atomic bomb survivor) studies and HIROSHIMA’s peace philosophy. In particular, I am interested in hibakusha’s demands, perspectives, peace-related ideologies, and social movements. I also study the measures necessary to address the atomic bomb damage. Another area of research I am interested in is nuclear justice. |
