Yumi Shimabukuro
Postdoctoral Fellow, Program on U.S.-Japan Relations, Harvard University
Dr. Shimabukuro received her B.A. in International Relations from Lewis & Clark College, M.I.A. from Columbia University, and Ph.D. in Political Science from MIT. Her research interests include comparative social policy, the genesis of political institutions, and political economy of Japan. Her dissertation entitled “Democratization and the Development of Japan’s Uneven Welfare State” examines how the interaction between democratization and industrialization shapes redistributive policies. Dr. Shimabukuro’s most recent article appeared in the Japanese Journal of Political Science, and her two other projects analyze electoral system choice and origins of insider-outsider cleavage in Japan. In the spring semester, she will teach Government 1270, "Government and Politics of Modern Japan.”
