職歴

Hilary Holbrow is Assistant Professor of Japanese Society and Politics at Indiana University. Her research focuses on diversity in Japanese firms. She examines how Japanese firms integrate women and highly skilled foreign workers, and how they can create a positive work environment for employees of all backgrounds. As Japan's population declines, this research illuminates how Japanese firms can best attract, retain, and use a diverse workforce to maintain their existing advantages amidst intensifying global competition.

Dr. Holbrow earned her Ph.D. from the Department of Sociology at Cornell University. She is a member of the US-Japan Network for the Future and has worked as a Lecturer on Sociology and Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University, as a Coordinator for International Relation for Japanese local government in Okinawa, and as a Press Assistant at the Embassy of Japan in Washington, DC. Her research has received support and recognition from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, the Fulbright Foundation, the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Japan Foundation, the Blakemore Foundation, and the Center for Economy and Society, the Center for the Study of Inequality, and the East Asia Program at Cornell University.
