International Alliances Between Experts and Activists in Post-Fukushima Japan

本研究项目聚焦于2011年3月日本福岛第一核电站事故后的社区行动。书中分析了对事故后果感到恐慌的民众如何通过征求国内外专家、建立专家维权联盟，找到了自己的方式，在辐射污染的不确定性中生存下来。在第三年，我与茱莉亚·格斯特和曼纽拉·哈特维格一起作为第一编辑，广泛地编辑了题为《日本的三重灾难：在东日本大地震、海啸和福岛核事故之后寻求正义》的书。这本书将于2023年由劳特利奇出版社出版。该卷连接了来自世界各国和各大洲的早期职业研究人员和高级学者。在东日本大地震后十多年的研究中，本书的章节不仅强调了直接灾害反应和政策制定中的多种挑战，而且还激发了对灾害治理的讨论，并强调了灾害正义的多样性。这本编辑过的书中包括了我的一章《被倾听的权利：分析关东地区父母的行动》，这一章调查了福岛核电站事故后母亲的行动，并分析了当地活动家和专家之间的联盟。

This research project focuses on community activism in Japan after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident in March 2011. It analyzes how citizens alarmed by the consequences of the accident found their own ways to live with uncertainties of radiation pollution by soliciting experts from Japan and abroad and creating expert-activist alliances.During the third year, I was working extensively on the edited volume entitled “Japan’s Triple Disaster: Pursuing Justice after the Great East Japan Earthquake, Tsunami, and Fukushima Nuclear Accident” as a first editor, along with Julia Gerster, and Manuela Hartwig. The volume is going to be published in 2023 by Routledge Publishing House. The volume connected early career researchers and senior academics coming from various countries and continents of the world. Presenting research on more than a decade after the Great East Japan Earthquake, the chapters of the volume highlight not only the manifold challenges in the direct disaster response and policymaking but also galvanise the discussion of disaster governance and highlight the variety of disaster (in)justices.The edited volume included my chapter entitled “The Right to Be Heard: Analyzing Parents’ Activism in the Kanto Region” which investigates mothers' activism in the aftermath of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant accident and analyzes alliances between local activists and experts.
