Social History of Modern Japan
About Me
I grew up in Minnesota in the U.S. and spent my graduate years at Sophia University in Tokyo. I love to be outdoors whether cycling, camping, or hiking. My main research field is modern Japanese history. I’m particularly interested in war history and memory, as well as political and economic thought in Japan.
