My research interests involve how parent-child shared book reading is initiated from another ongoing domestic activities. By looking into activity trajectories in family interactions, I aim to figure out how book reading is positioned among multiple (and often competing) family activities and what the relationships between parents and children is like when they negotiate to read a book or not. I take a comparative perspective (Chinese-Japanese) on parent-child interactions within the transitions of family activities, to find out the similarities and differences of their interaction types.
