Anne Sokolsky received her Ph.D. in Modern Japanese Literature with a sub-specialty in Gender Studies from the University of California, Berkeley in 2003. She is currently working on a literary biography of Tamura Toshiko, one of Japan’s early modern feminist writers who spent two decades living in North America in the 1920s and 1930s. Anne Sokolsky’s research on Tamura has appeared in Japanese and English journals. Anne Sokolsky’s other research project is to examine the literary production of Issei and Nisei (first and second generation Japanese American) immigrants that appeared in the literary columns of Japanese American immigrant newspapers in Los Angeles and elsewhere. She has presented her research at conferences in Japan and the United States.
Anne Sokolsky has had extensive experience teaching in the United States and abroad. She most recently spent three years teaching courses on Asian literature and culture at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. She also has taught at U.C. Berkeley, U.C Santa Barbara, and was an English teacher in the Japan Exchange of Teaching Program. She was also a Fulbright scholar in Japan from 2001 to 2002. In addition to living in Japan for eight years, Anne Sokolsky spent two years in Morocco, where she was a Peace Corps volunteer. While in Morocco, she learned Moroccan Arabic and then continued studying Arabic at Harvard University, where she received a M.Ed. in International Education and Development.
For fun, she plays the cello and studies Chinese.
