Satoshi Nagano

Born in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. I obtained my PhD (Architecture) from Waseda University in October 2014. I then worked as a visiting researcher at the School of Architecture and Urban Studies, University of Adelaide, Australia, and engaged in industry-academia-government collaboration projects as a research institute researcher at the University of Fukui's Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration Division. And I was engaged in the COC+ (Centre of Knowledge University to Promote Regional Development) project as a lecturer at Mie University's Regional Human Resource Education and Development Organisation. I was also involved in organising the Consortium for Higher Education Mie. At the College of Social Sciences, Ritsumeikan University, where I currently belong, I am in charge of various classes and seminars (including graduation theses) on the theme of 'Social Innovation and Social Design'. In addition, as a Socially Engaged Artist (SEA), I have exhibited my work at the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial.
