Melinda Takeuchi

Melinda Takeuchi is an academic, an author, a Japanologist and a Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and the Department of Art History at Stanford University.

Early life

Takeuchi grew up in what was then rural-Malibu in Southern California. In 1966, she earned a B.A. in Asian Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). She continued her studies at UCSB, earning a M.A. with Honors in the History of Art in 1972. In Japan in 1975-1976, she was a Research Fellow at Waseda University in Tokyo.

Takeuchi was awarded her Ph.D. in the History of Art in 1979 at the University of Michigan.

Career

Takeuchi invested thirty years climbing the tenure-track ladder at Stanford.

Once you reach a certain watershed in your career — for me, it was getting tenure at Stanford — you take stock of your life, come up for air, look around and say, 'Is this all there is?' — Melinda Takeuchi[1]

In recent years, Takeuchi's life in academia has been balanced by the activities associated with breeding Friesian horses on a small ranch in Northern California.[1]

gollark: Evil idea: find an exploit in a popular debugger, and make an obfuscated program which uses it to release BEES™ onto your computer when debugged.
gollark: It does still have bugs, though, but almost certainly not "arbitrary code execution (or other significant badness) through a bound query parameter".
gollark: They have 600 times more testing code than, well, library code, and cover *all* of the machine code code paths.
gollark: The only possible way you could SQL-inject it (technically it wouldn't be SQL injection but same principle) would be exploiting some kind of bug in SQLite itself. This is unlikely, as SQLite may literally be one of the most well-tested pieces of software in existence.
gollark: It's using SQLite's parameter binding thingy.
