Deborah Milly’s research interests include Japanese responses to increased immigration, comparative and global responses to international migration, and comparative patterns of interaction between state and civil society actors.

In addition to publishing New Policies for New Residents: Immigrants, Advocacy, and Governance in Japan and Beyond, she has presented papers on these subjects at numerous conferences and international meetings. During the fall semester of 2014, Milly used a sabbatical to conduct research on the evolving policy discussion of international health care workers in Japan. During the fall of 2015 and the summer of 2016, she continued that research with support from a Fulbright research award.
