Historiography of the use of "fascism" to describe Japan’s 1930s-40s state; religious cosmopolitanism in Northeast Asia.
My principal teaching responsibilities at the lower division are modern World and Asian history classes. At the upper division, I regularly teach a three-semester, 300-level sequence in Japanese history and a 400-level course on the Japanese empire. I have also taught thematic courses on Rebel Music, the Korean War, Asian women's history, and graduate seminars on modern colonialism, popular culture, and the First World War.
I am affiliated faculty with the NIU World Music program.
