PhD in Anthropology, obtained from the Department od Anthropology and Sociology at SOAS University of London.My doctoral research focuses on the Japanese service industry and, more specifically, on issues of gender, care and knowledge transmission in queer nightlife. During his 14-month fieldwork, I worked as a bar help (miseko) at a Japanese-style gay bar in Japan’s largest ‘gay town,’ Shinjuku Ni-chome (Tokyo), learning about That Bar Life (also the title of his thesis). Under the vigilant surveillance of my manager, I observed the networks of mutual support existing among bars, and attempted to navigate the delicate customer-staff interactions across the counter. Ultimately, I learnt that nightlife is a business that requires extreme dedication and continuous transformation from its practitioners in order to meet the needs and desires of their counterparts, and make them feel special.
