Postgraduate Supervision at Hokkaido University 北海道大学における大学院生の指導
At Hokkaido University, I taught in the Graduate School of Education from April 2007 to March 2018. I supervised nine postgraduate students (one PhD, eight master’s students) to successful completion of their degrees. In academic year 2018, following my move to Tokyo, I continued to supervise two PhD students who had not yet graduated. One finished in March 2019, and the other in March 2020.
