ALUMNUS PAUL JENSEN

Paul Jensen completed the MA in Linguistics at UCSC in 2007 with a thesis on the Japanese reciprocal pronoun otagai. Paul recently wrote to WHASC with an update:

Back in April of this year I was promoted to Associate Professor in charge of English language courses in the Faculty of Economic Sciences at Hiroshima Shudo University in Hiroshima, Japan. I started working at HSU in 2012 as an Assistant Professor, and before that I worked in the private English language teaching industry in Hiroshima for about five years. I’m extremely grateful to all the fine faculty, staff, and of course my fellow Ling/Lang students at UCSC for providing such a fantastic learning environment and making it possible for me to land a tenured university teaching position.
