Reader in Japanese Studies, Newcastle University
I have an interest in character construction techniques and story repetition across genre, and in my research I look at diverse fiction, such as Murakami Haruki’s, Kanehara Hitomi’s and Kirino Natsuo’s literary works, as well as Miyazaki Hayao’s animation and artwork by Aida Makoto, among others. My approach is interdisciplinary and I enjoy working thematically.
Currently I am particularly interested in Murakami Haruki. I lead the AHRC funded project, Genderign Murakami Haruki: Characters, Transmedial Productions and Contemporary Japan. The project aims to examine Murakami's literary works in terms of the processes of translation, transmedial production and the gendering of his characters. I am particularly interested in his female characters and their changing position and diverse representation. For more information see my website: Eyes on Murakami: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/murakami/
Outputs related to my Murakami project includes a special issue on Murakami Haruki at Japan Forum Vol 32(3) that I co-edited in 2020 with Dr. Michael Tsang. Together we have also edited the volume Murakami Haruki and Our Years of Pilgrimage to be published with Routledge.
Together with Professor Christopher Jones, I produced the art catalogue, Beyond Words: Transmediating Murakami Haruki, 2018.

Since 2002, Glen has been the Education and Public Outreach Manager at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC); a part of NASA's Deep Space Network. He manages the Complex’s Visitor Centre and promotes space exploration to the 70,000 visitors it attracts each year to view its exhibitions and learn more about the giant antenna dishes which provide two-way contact with dozens of robotic spacecraft exploring the Solar System and beyond.
Glen's passion for space science is passed on to the 12,000+ school students he talks to each year; helping them to discover their own interests in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
He is a regular commentator on space matters in the media and has written for several industry and commercial publications. For three years, he was also the writer and presenter of a weekly TV program on astronomy and space, called Skywatch. He contributes regularly on social media (under several profiles) and is active on space focussed web forums such as Unmanned Spaceflight.com.
When he gets time (which he says is “not often”), he likes to relax creating space-themed digital artworks and developing small business websites.
