Dr Akira Ogawa is a cultural anthropologist specializing in research on civil society and lifetime education.

His application is supplied with amazingly detailed documetations. He presents his visions during his tenure as a professor, including a collaboration with schoalrs of Chinese studies as well as organization of series of seminars on Japanese culture and society, which are interdisciplinary and international.


He is an internationally acknowledged excellent scholar with outstanding scientific skills and astonishing publishing record with his prize-winning book The Failure of Civil Society? (2009, submitted publication no. 1), the forthcoming book Japan’s New Lifelong Learning: Risk, Knowledge, and Community (2013, no. 2), and other peer reviewed and invited articles / book chapters. No. 8 and 9 are related to no. 1, while no. 3 is related to no. 2. All of them are informative and of high quality, dealing with actual and ongoing problems Japanese society has been facing with; an accout of the US-Japan security in Okinawa (2010, no. 4), analyses of notions of peace in Japanese society in relation to the discussion of revising Japan’s constitution (2011, no.5), critical discussion of the Bologna System in connection to a university course on Japansese society (2011, no. 6), and the reaction of the Japanese people after the disaster in Fukushima in March 2011 (Forhtcoming, no. 7). One exception is though an article written in Japanese discussing ’Youth unemployment in Sweden’ (2008, no. 10.)
He has a record of energic activities not only as a scholar doing fieldworks and editorial works, participating in conferences and international collaborations through his remarkable networks, but also as a capable fund raiser, an organizer of conferences, and a visiting scholar at universities in different countries. All of these activities are meticulouly documented in his application.

Both quality and quantity of his research are at a laudative level, and show clearly that he is a mature scholar of professorial level in his research field.


As for his pedagogical qualification, which is equally well documented in his application, one can get the impression that he is a dedicated educator giving well prepared teaching at all levels. However, he has by now a record of only one M.A. thesis supervsion, and ad hoc advising of a few Ph.D. students.

He has taken courses in pedagogical education at Stockholm University and is considered well qualified as a university teacher. As for the Japanese language, he, a native speaker of the language, has taken a course in ’An Introduction to Japanese Language Education’ at a private institute in Tokyo, enabling him to teach Japanese as a seond language. According to his information, he has taught in advanced reading course three semesters in all.


His administrative experiences has been limited at a department level as co-organizer of Stockholm seminar on Japan since 2009.
As qualifications relating to collaboration with surrounding society he has a long list of journalistic articles and essays; he has also given some talks and lectures, but all of these are given in Japanese for the Japanese readers and audiences.
Although he is a first-rate scholar as a cultural anthropologist working internationally and enthusiastically in the field of Japanese studies, he cannot fulfill the requirements in the announcemt. He is not a specialist in Japanese literature, language teaching or lingusitics.
Not qualified for the announced position.
