Present Research Subject and Aspirations toward the GCOE:
I have a great interest in the international comparison of Immigration policies, in population composition and international mobility, in welfare regimes and Social Assimilation of immigrants.
Since I am greatly engaged in the International Symposia project team of the GCOE, I would like to create the conditions for active discussion and in particular help young researchers, including graduate students, to be able to fully display their academic strength at international academic meetings in the future.
