Research into environmental literature of Japan and North America, environmental poetry, and disaster poetry of Japan

School of Human Science and Environment

Professor Ayako Takahashi

I conducted research into American activist and poet Gary Snyder.

Snyder, who is currently 92 years old, is a prominent environmentalist. Also, his works are some of the most prominent in the area of environmental literature.

With an approach on environmentalism and respect for living things cultivated through this research, the central topic of my learning and research is the relationship between the environment and humans in the areas of environmental anthropology and literature, with a focus on a fusion between the humanities and sciences and on anthropology.
