Neighborhood Gastronomy as a Grassroots Creative Industry: Resilience and Innovation in Response to COVID

疫情过后，我在东京的一个社区进行了实地考察，采访了利益相关者。结果以英语和日语发表在Nishiogiology上，这是一个公共人种学网站，向当地利益相关者和国际学者提供田野调查工作。该项目于2023年3月被日本文化厅认定为利用日本饮食文化知识的典范。我组织了一个关于大流行后全球餐饮业的在线演讲者系列。我在芝加哥、宾夕法尼亚布鲁明顿、多伦多、杜塞尔多夫和阿姆斯特丹旅行，会见了学者和潜在的合作者。这些旅行有助于为比较实地工作和与类似项目的比较协作奠定基础。

I conducted fieldwork, interviewing stakeholders in a Tokyo neighborhood in the aftermath of the pandemic. The results are published on the Nishiogiology in English and Japanese, a public ethnography website that makes the fieldwork available to local stakeholders as well as international scholars. The project recognized March 2023 by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs as an exemplar of utilizing knowledge of Japanese food culture. I organized an online speaker series on the post-pandemic global restaurant industry. I travelled to meet with scholars and potential collaborators in Chicago, Bloomington IN, Toronto, Duesseldorf and Amsterdam. These trips were useful for establishing the basis for comparative fieldwork and comparative collaboration with similar projects.
