Professor Goodman’s research is mainly on Japanese education and social policy. He has published three major monographs with Oxford University Press, Japan’s International Youth (1990), Children of the Japanese State (2000) and (with Jeremy Breaden) Family-Run Universities in Japan (2020), and has been the editor or co-editor of a further ten volumes. Most of his work is also available in Japanese editions. He has supervised almost forty doctoral theses, mainly on Japan, over the past 25 years on topics ranging from Shinto shrines to volleyball coaches, teacher unions to karaoke, hikikomori to firefighters.
