Hello everyone! My name is Cecilia, I am a 25 year old woman studying anthropology! I am currently on exchange here in Osaka until February 2026!
I came here to collect data for my bachelor’s thesis about Women’s Safety on Public Transit in Japan and I am looking for women who are willing/able to participant in my project!
A bit about my project:
The project is trying to understand and examine the lived experiences of women in Japan on public transit, especially on trains. I want to find out more regarding how women feel when getting around in their daily lives and also gain some insight into the concept of “ちかん”
Outline:
Dates: December – February
Conduct 1 interview – These interviews will be conducted mostly in English, but if you forget a word or something of the sort, don’t worry about looking it up with a translator!
Interviews will be conducted face-to-face, you can choose any place you feel comfortable.
Do a participant observation: A trip together on public transport! If you have to go somewhere,
I would love to tag along on the journey! I will, of course, not tag along for any plans you might have afterwards (unless invited)
Conduct a follow-up interview – Here we will discuss anything extra I might be curious about or things I noticed during our trip together!
You will be able to review the questions for the interview beforehand, but I might ask about something extra during the interview if something interesting comes up (which I am sure it will!)
I hope some of your interests have been piqued! Please do feel free to reach out to me here or feel free to add me on line: https://line.me/ti/p/9976CQqAs6

Good luck with your research.
Are you primarily interviewing Japanese women, or also foreign women who live in Japan?

That’s kinda creepy. You should remove that even if it was a joke, considering the subject of your research.
