    Research Interest

Since the late 1990s, I have been studying homelessness, social movements, and their regulation in and outside of Japan. I have also been engaging in the development of Marxist theory/method to make them more useful for researching urban marginality, beyond the pejorative myth of "lumpenproletariat" that Marx himself harbored. My current work is for the method of abstraction/concretization that aims to extend the international scope of urban regulation theory.
