Ariel Stilerman
Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures
BioMy research examines the transformation of courtly literary and artistic practices into broader cultural forces across diverse social spaces.
My first book in English, Court Poetry and the Culture of Learning in Japan (Harvard Asia Center, 2025), traces the evolution of waka poetry as it embraced a wider base of practitioners. Initially the purview of the aristocracy, waka gradually engaged military and priestly elites, then lower-ranking monks and warriors, and eventually urban merchants. As waka became a shared cultural language, its form and content were reshaped to reflect new social priorities. When its significance waned amid the cultural reforms of the 19th century, the tea ceremony evolved to assume its role as a gateway into traditional culture.
My second project, Meet the People Who Built Japan: The Culture of Work in Early Medieval Japanese Literature, explores discourses on technology, community, and affect in connection to the lives of working people. It examines poems in which aristocrats imagine themselves as workers, illustrated tales that bring crafting communities to life, and long-form narratives that reframe violence as a professional pursuit.
My broader interests include the tea ceremony, psychoanalysis, design, and critical making.
I welcome proposals on classical, medieval, and early modern literature and culture through the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, as well as transdisciplinary projects through the Program in Modern Thought and Literature.

Maxi Corona Stiller
Graduate Visiting Researcher Student, Psychology
BioMaxi is a Masters student in Clinical Psychology at the University of Technology Dresden, Germany. Her research explores how emotional processes influence mental health, combining insights from clinical psychology, affective science, and neuroscience. She has a particular interest in fMRI and has previously studied neural activity and connectivity related to emotion processing and regulation in early-onset depression. As part of her Master’s thesis, she is currently working at the Stanford Psychophysiology Laboratory under the supervision of Dr. David Preece and Prof. James Gross. Her work there centers on understanding mechanisms behind alexithymia, with a focus on its neural underpinnings and the role of experiential avoidance.

In the long term, she hopes to contribute to more personalized and effective treatments by integrating physiological markers into psychological care.
