Why Choose Pembroke?
Pembroke has built up a tradition of Japanese Studies at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and is one of only three Oxford Colleges that has a Fellow in Japanese. Pembroke’s library is one of the best College libraries for books relating to Japanese studies.
- Our lead tutor in the subject is Professor Linda Flores. Her research interests examine the ethics and aesthetics of representing trauma in contemporary writing, and much of her current work focuses on writing produced after the Great East Japan Earthquake, tsunami and nuclear meltdowns at Fukshima nuclear power plant. In addition to Professor Flores, we have a Tanaka Junior Research Fellow and a Retained Lecturer, making a total of three tutors in Japanese, all of whom contribute to the scholarly life of the students studying the subject.
We play host to a series of events including the annual Tanaka Memorial Symposium in Japanese Studies which brings together scholars from around the world. The College usually awards the TEPCo Prize for good performance in the Preliminary Examination (first year exams) which is funded by a gift to Pembroke from the Tokyo Electric Power Company.
