高橋 君江
高橋 君江 is a Lecturer at the Graduate School of English at Assumption University of Thailand. Before joining GSE, Kimie was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Macquarie University, Australia, between 2007 and 2011. During her three-year appointment there, she mainly worked on an ethnographic study of the role of language in tourism between Australia and Japan (funded by a Macquarie University Research Development Grant, awarded to and directed by Ingrid Piller). Kimie is an Honorary Associate in the Department of Linguistics, and continues to co-supervise several PhD students with Ingrid at Macquarie University.
The main areas of Kimie’s research interests are bilingualism and second language learning and use in transnational contexts. She is particularly interested in the link between gender, race and language learning, which she addresses in her new book Language Desire: Gender, Sexuality and Second Language Learning (in press for August 2012, Multilingual Matters).
At GSE, Kimie has been teaching several subjects in the MA in ELT Program, including Intercultural Issues, Advanced Communication Skills, and Research Methodology. She prides herself on being the world’s first to adopt Ingrid’s latest book for a master’s course, and she blogs about her students’ reaction to the book every now and then.
Kimie’s most current research project is a multimedia collection of life stories, Japanese on the Move: Life Stories of Transmigration, funded by the Australia-Japan Foundation (the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trading) and conducted with Ingrid.
