An EconoTimes perspective

Lecturer in the History of Japan, SOAS, University of London I've been at SOAS since 2004, after an MA at the University of Washington, a PhD at Stanford and four years teaching at Wake Forest University. My research focuses on the history of modern Japan. At the moment I'm wrapping up a long-term project on Japan and exhibitions (or expos, international and domestic) and starting up a few new ones: on Japan in the 1930s; on the relationship between words and things in the early Meiji period (1870s); and on the history of Japanese golf. In addition to courses on early modern and modern Japan, I also teach East Asian and world history.
