Shoko Yoneyama (PhD) is an Associate Professor of Asian Studies and a sociologist dedicated to empowering young people through her research and teaching, drawing upon her expertise in Japanese Studies. She leads interdisciplinary research teams focused on exploring the connection between ontological diversity and ecoanxiety among youth. Shoko is particularly interested in how visual art, anime, and manga, which depict animism as a non-anthropocentric worldview, can influence the well-being of young people worldwide. Her book, "Animism in Contemporary Japan: Voices for the Anthropocene from Post-Fukushima Japan", serves as a foundational work for her research in this area.
 
The research teams Shoko leads have hosted two international symposia: "Tasmanian Tiger Meets Hokkaido Wolf: Australia and Japan Beyond Ecoanxiety" (a DFAT Australia-Japan Foundation project in 2023) and "Reimagining Nature through Japanese Studies & Art: How to Think the Unthinkable Beyond Ecoanxiety" (in collaboration with the Art Gallery of South Australia, funded by The Japan Foundation and The Japanese Studies Association of Australia in 2025). These events successfully engaged the public with innovative approaches to reimagining sustainable futures. 
 
Shoko has also made significant contributions to the sociology of comparative education, particularly focusing on students' experiences with school bullying and non-attendance. She served on UNESCO's scientific committees aimed at preventing school bullying from 2020 to 2024, contributing to the development of UNESCO's new definition of school bullying. Her book, "The Japanese High Schools: Silence and Resistance", lays the groundwork for her research in this field.
 
With over 1,400 citations, Shoko Yoneyama is one of the most cited sociologists specialising in Japan in Australia. In recognition of her work, she received a Japanese Foreign Minister's Commendation in 2024. Inquiries regarding PhD and MPhil projects are welcome.

Associate Professor Shoko Yoneyama is interested in understanding how knowledge is created and how it can become the dominant discourse or method in a particular field. Her research critically examines established paradigms and foundations of knowledge, drawing on her Japanese background and incorporating comparative perspectives. She is particularly interested in empowering young people through her critical analysis of the dominant paradigm.  

Shoko has extensive experience in the sociology of comparative education. Her first book, "The Japanese High School: Silence & Resistance" (Routledge), offers a comparative and critical analysis of student alienation in Japan and Australia from the students' perspective. With over 380 citations, it is the second most cited book on Japanese education in English since 1990.

Another significant contribution is her article titled "Problems with the Paradigm: The School as a Factor in Understanding Bullying," published in the British Journal of Sociology of Education (2003). This pioneering work introduced a sociological perspective to the discourse on school bullying and has garnered over 320 citations. Shoko was a keynote speaker at the World Anti-Bullying Forum 2019 in Dublin. She has also served on UNESCO's scientific committee to prevent school bullying from 2020 to 2024, collaborating with the World Anti-Bullying Forum (WABF) in Sweden to revise the definition of school bullying to be more inclusive and sociologically informed.

Since the triple disaster in Japan in 2011 (earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown), Shoko has explored the anthropocentric human-nature relationship and critiqued it through the lens of animism. Her second book, "Animism in Contemporary Japan: Voices for the Anthropocene from Post-Fukushima Japan" (Routledge), presents ‘postmodern animism’ as an effective approach to addressing issues of nature and spirituality, two blind spots in scientific knowledge. Shoko has been invited to serve as a keynote speaker at various international conferences. For more details, please refer to her professional activities.
