Dr Juliana Buriticá Alzate
After living in Japan for eleven years and recently relocating to the UK, I am really excited to be working as Departmental Lecturer in Modern Japanese Literature for the Faculty of Oriental Studies, and to be joining Pembroke college too. I am a researcher and educator in the fields of Japanese Literature and Gender and Sexuality Studies, as well as a literary translator. My research brings together queer and feminist theory to explore representations of mothering and related embodied experiences in contemporary Japanese fiction. I have translated Aoko Matsuda’s Where The Wild Ladies Are into Spanish (Quaterni 2022) and I am currently working on a collection of poetry by Hiromi Itō (Insensata, forthcoming 2023). I will be teaching Reading 3.11 Literature, survey lectures on Modern Japanese Literature, and Modern Japanese Literature in Translation. I am happy to provide support for the students at Pembroke on matters related to academic and personal guidance, including sharing about my personal experience living in Japan.
