2020年3月に修士論文「Kurt Vonnegut研究——Slaughterhouse-Fiveにおける戦争とマスキュリニティーの表象」を提出したところ、優秀修士論文として認められ、2021年3月の早稲田大学大学院『文学研究科紀要』第66輯にて要約が掲載されました

With this research grant, I clarified how Tim O’Brien, a veteran of the Vietnam War, used metafiction and representations of gender to criticize American involvement in the war and its draft system, and how he attempted to reconcile American veterans and non-veterans in his masterpiece, The Things They Carried. I summarized this study in a presentation entitled “The Ethic of Metafiction in The Things They Carried” at the 13th Waseda Creative Writing and Criticism Conference on October 29, 2022. Based on this presentation, I wrote a research paper with the same title and submitted it to Waseda Creative Writing and Criticism Studies, published by Waseda Creative Writing and Criticism Association. This paper has been accepted and will be published soon.
