About
I am a historian specializing in Modern Japan and the History of US-Japan relations.
My current research focuses on transformations in US-Japan relations and Japanese society during the first half of the 1960s, in the aftermath of the 1960 protests against the US-Japan Security Treaty.
I have previously conducted research on topics such as suicide in Japan, Japanese culture and society in wartime, the origins of the Japanese education system, and various US imperialist adventures in Cuba, China, and Siberia from 1898-1920.
