Prof.dr. Chris Goto-Jones

Chris Goto-Jones is Dean of LUC The Hague and Professor of Comparative Philosophy & Political Thought at Leiden University. He was educated at Cambridge and then (via Keio University, Tokyo) Oxford University, from where he received his MPhil and PhD in Politics & International Relations. He taught at a number of universities in the UK, including SOAS, Oxford and Nottingham, before coming to Leiden, where he held the chair in Modern Japan Studies before being called to LUC. His research is concerned with modern political and ethical thought, particularly as found in Japan & East Asia, but also with finding ways to disrupt the ethnocentricism of conventional academic disciplines that tend to marginalise or ignore these kinds of non-European traditions of thought. In 2009 Chris received the VICI award from the NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research).
