Biography
Dr Gwyn McClelland is Japanese Studies Senior Lecturer in the Department of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics within the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. An oral historian, he conducts research engaging with religious discourses in memory and history. In 2020, he was awarded the 2020 Japan Foundation Long-term Fellowship to complete fieldwork in Japan associated with a new study of the Gotō Islands. While he was unable to immediately attend this fellowship due to the COVID crisis, in association, Sophia University has granted him the status of Collaborative Research Fellow; and he will work during this term as an Honorary Associate of the University of Tokyo. Following on, he received the twelve week prestigious 2022 National Library of Australia Fellowship (Harold S Williams Trust) to further support this study. In 2022, he was also awarded the Japan Foundation long-term Fellowship, and spent two months in Japan, in associated fieldwork.
