Gavin Furukawa received his PhD in Second Language Studies from the University of Hawai?i at M?noa and currently works for the University of Tokyo as the coordinator for their English spoken fluency program and as an instructor for both science and humanities writing. His research focuses primarily on discourse analytic approaches to identity construction, particularly with data drawn from mass media.
