Introduction: I'm an Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Yale University. My doctoral research in sociocultural anthropology has been on sign language, identity, civil society, and minority social movements in modern Japan. At Yale, I teach courses on feminist ethnography, disability and culture, Japan Studies, and visual and applied anthropology.
