Where is Cora Dickson?
I move around the world a lot, but chances are always good that I will be in either Japan or the United States. That narrows it down a little!! As of February 2001, I call the Washington, DC area my home. I'll be here for a few years, at least.
Career Update
After completing the Dual Master's Degree Program of American University/Ritsumeikan University in 1999, I started working full-time in Kyoto for the Planning Division of Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University (APU), a new university which opened in April 2000 in Beppu City, Oita-ken, on the southern island of Kyushu. I lived in Oita for about a year, then I decided to move back to the USA for personal reasons.
After job searching and soul searching, my career has taken a new twist and now I work for the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration. First I worked for Market Access and Compliance, Office of Japan for three and a half years. Since January 2005, I work for Manufacturing and Services, Office of Technology and Electronic Commerce. Basically I started out as a country specialist, then switched to being an industry specialist.
Research Update
The English version of the thesis submitted in January 1999 to Ritsumeikan University is here. However, the research project submitted in August 1999 to American University is slightly different and a summary will hopefully be posted someday.
Address Update
I can be reached directly at either ccdickson2002@yahoo.com or ccdickson@yahoo.co.jp or ccdickson@alum.bu.edu(hmmm. do you detect a pattern here??).
