Miyako Inoue
Associate Professor of Anthropology and, by courtesy, of Linguistics
BioMiyako Inoue teaches linguistic anthropology and the anthropology of Japan. She also has a courtesy appointment with the Department of Linguistics.
Her first book, titled, Vicarious Language: the Political Economy of Gender and Speech in Japan (University of California Press), examines a phenomenon commonly called "women's language" in Japanese modern society, and offers a genealogy showing its critical linkage with Japan's national and capitalist modernity. Professor Inoue is currently working on a book-length project on a social history of “verbatim” in Japanese. She traces the historical development of the Japanese shorthand technique used in the Diet for its proceedings since the late 19th century, and of the stenographic typewriter introduced to the Japanese court for the trial record after WWII. She is interested in learning what it means to be faithful to others by coping their speech, and how the politico-semiotic rationality of such stenographic modes of fidelity can be understood as a technology of a particular form of governance, namely, liberal governance. Publication that has come out of her current project includes, "Stenography and Ventriloquism in Late Nineteenth Century Japan." Language & Communication 31.3 (2011).
Professor Inoue's research interest: linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, semiotics, linguistic modernity, anthropology of writing, inscription devices, materialities of language, social organizations of documents (filing systems, index cards, copies, archives, paperwork), voice/sound/noise, soundscape, technologies of liberalism, gender, urban studies, Japan, East Asia. -

Richard Ireland
Graduate, Stanford Distinguished Careers Institutes
BioLondon-born into a musical family, Richard is one of the UK’s leading chamber musicians with an international career as performer and teacher. Over the past 20 years he has created and run a number of innovative nonprofit Arts training organisations in the UK. He is sought after as a mentor by performers at all stages of their careers.
In 2010 Richard founded ChamberStudio which provides specialised coaching and support for emerging professional chamber musicians. He was CEO and Artistic Director until stepping down in 2024. In 2017 he founded Offstage to provide a safe haven for established performers where they can temporarily step ‘offstage’, re-energise, and explore fresh thinking alongside artists from different disciplines.
Richard was Professor of Violin at the Royal Academy of Music in London until stepping down in September 2025 - his ex-students hold principal positions in top orchestras and chamber ensembles across Europe. He continues to be in demand as a performance coach for professional musicians of all ages and has given masterclasses at most of the European Festivals, training organisations, and summer courses.
As a chamber musician, Richard was a regular performer at all the major chamber music venues across Europe, including as a member of the world-renowned Chilingirian String Quartet. Alongside his chamber music career, he was Guest Leader of orchestras such as the City of London Sinfonia, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, and the Royal Northern Sinfonia.
Richard studied the violin with Eli Goren and Shmuel Ashkenasi, both eminent quartet leaders. He was Teaching Assistant to Shmuel Ashkenasi in the USA for three years.
In recognition of his teaching and mentoring and for his work creating and running ChamberStudio, Richard was awarded the 2014 Cobbett Medal by the Worshipful Company of Musicians. In March 2017 he was awarded Honorary Associateship of the Royal Academy of Music (Hon ARAM) for special contribution to the institution.
Richard holds a first-class Pure Mathematics degree from the Open University which he studied part time in his 30s purely for his love of the subject.
In his free time, Richard is a keen mountain walker and wild camper together with his cellist wife and their 850 gram 2-man tent. He was a passionate rock climber until he broke a knuckle on his left hand. His two grown up children both live and work in London.
In 2025/26 Richard is a Fellow of the Distinguished Careers Institute program at Stanford University in USA. -

Haruka Itakura, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
BioDr. Haruka Itakura is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology) in the Stanford University School of Medicine, a data scientist, and a practicing breast medical oncologist at the Stanford Women’s Cancer Center. She is board-certified in Oncology, Clinical Informatics, Hematology, and Internal Medicine. Her research mission is to drive medical advances at the intersection of cancer and data science, applying state-of-the-art machine learning/artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to extract clinically actionable knowledge from heterogeneous multi-scale cancer data to improve patient outcomes. Her ongoing research to develop robust methodologies and apply cutting-edge techniques to analyze complex cancer big data was catapulted by an NIH K01 Career Development Award in Biomedical Big Data Science after obtaining a PhD in Biomedical Informatics at Stanford University. Her cancer research focuses on extracting radiomic (pixel-level quantitative imaging) features of tumors from medical imaging studies and applying machine learning frameworks, including radiogenomic approaches, for the integrative analysis of heterogeneous, multiomic (e.g., radiomic, genomic, transcriptomic) data to accelerate discoveries in cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. Her current projects include data science/AI-powered prediction modeling of survival, treatment response, cancer recurrence, and metastasis in different cancer subtypes; detection of occult invasive breast cancer; and identification of novel therapeutic targets. Her goal is to translate her research findings back to the clinical setting for the benefit of patients with difficult-to-treat cancers.
