Biography
I am currently a senior lecturer in Japanese and Modern Japanese History at SOAS University of London.
Trained as a historian at the Department of History at SOAS, my main interests are the rise of modern Japan with an emphasis on imperialism, militarism, ideology and the relationship between politics and religion (Buddhism).
I also teach Advanced Japanese using current issues in Japan, including constitutional revision, security and gender. As these issues often closely relate to Japan's imperial legacy and the postcolonial impasses between Japan and its neighbouring countries, I am keen to connect' then' and' now' in the global context
