Outline Activities
I specialize in East Asian political and social history with a focus on modern Japan. My past research focused on the history of U.S. military occupations in Japan, Korea, and Okinawa, examining the rise of American hegemony in the region after World War II. I am currently engaged in a research project on the history of decolonization in Taiwan and Korea, comparing the processes and outcomes of dismantling Japanese colonialism. Other areas of research include transnational migration and border controls, boundaries of nationality and citizenship, and the "history problem" in East Asia.
