I am Michael Strausz, a political scientist with an interest in Japan.

マイケル　ストラウス　博士（政治学）

日本政治（特に移民政策）に関して研究しております

My research focuses on Japan’s immigration policy and the role of norms in international politics. I teach a variety of courses in comparative politics, international relations, research methods, and Asian studies.

I graduated from Michigan State University’s James Madison College and earned my Ph.D. in political science from the University of Washington in Seattle. I live in Benbrook, Texas with my spouse and our two children. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and schmoozing.
