About Myself[edit]

If you are wondering about my username, it roughly translates to "middle-aged (female) Sociologist."

I am an 小母さん (obasan), who received a PhD in 社会学 (shakaigaku) from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, teaching in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences at the George Washington University. I have a joint appointment in the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration and the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program, and I research about gender inequality, work, welfare states, and military.

My students and I have been participating in the Wiki Education Foundation program to improve the quality of articles related to gender and sexuality studies (see WikiProject Gender studies and LGBT studies).
