About the speaker
Dr Ayako Hotta-Lister wrote her 1995 doctorate under Professor Nish’s supervision at the LSE. She has since published two studies on the 1910 Japan-British Exhibition, the second a collection of papers on the centenary of the Exhibition in 2010, as well as numerous papers for STICERD, the LSE Research Centre, which was headed by Professor Nish, and some contributions to other books related in her field, Anglo-Japanese relations.
She is currently retracing her mentor’s footsteps in her own exploration of Japanese attitudes to the Anglo-Japanese Alliance for a forthcoming monograph.
