Judit Kroo
Judit Kroo is a Mellon post-doctoral fellow in Japanese at Vassar College and received her doctorate in Japanese from Stanford University. Her research focuses on younger Japanese adults’ navigation of liminal spaces between youth and adulthood, including linguistic and embodied practices associated with these spaces, and strategies of resistance to normative social ideologies within such spaces. Other research interests include self-marginalization as a linguistic tactic, Korean and Japanese dramas as sites of alternative gendered personae construction, and social media commodity relations. Relevant publications include: ‘Negotiating identities: First person pronominal use between Japanese university students’ (forthcoming); with Yoshiko Matsumoto ‘The case of Japanese otona “adult”: Mediatized gender as a marketing device’ (Discourse and Communication, 2018); and as co-editor Linguistic Tactics and Strategies of Marginalization in Japanese (under contract).
