Peter Matanle
LecturerUniversity of Sheffield
Since completing my PhD in 2001 on Japanese work orientations, I have been employed at the University of Sheffield and have developed my research to include the education to work transition for university graduates in Japan and the UK; popular cultural representations of work and their relationship with the social construction of Japan's 'national capitalism'; and depopulation, employment and education in Japan's shrinking regions. Along the way, I have (co-)authored and (co-)edited five books, and published peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and reviews on the above subjects.
In the future I would like to extend this to include research into similar phenomena in other countries in Asia and Western Europe. In particular I am interested in:
- Rural depopulation and material consumption in Europe and East Asia.
- Work and its representation in popular culture.
- The theory and practice of permanent employment.
