I share the news because it is part of Nichibunken's funded visiting program for Japan specialists outside Japan. If you want to apply for a yearlong research stay there at some point from April 2027 to January 2029, the deadline for the applications is October 31, 2025.

Dr. Jisoo Kim (GWU) and I look forward to it later in February as part of the "Making Connections" series by the American Society for Legal History!

#AAS2025 is less than a week ahead of us! I look forward to seeing old and new friends at Columbus. Our panel, "Gendering Border Crossings in the Japanese Empire," will be held in Room A221 (Level 2, Convention Center) at 11am on Friday. I hope to see you there!

Glad that I just finished writing the third #letterofrecommendation in this semester for students to apply for law schools. I don't know why I received the requests especially this semester as I didn't have them before. In any event, I will feel rewarded if they can pursue something passionate!

The physical copies of my Geographies of Gender have arrived! I am grateful to the editorial team @cambridgeup.bsky.social for their hard work despite a cyber-security incident in the last summer! #Japan #Taiwan #Gender #Legalhistory #Colonialism

Seriously!?😲 The Institute of Taiwan History at Academia Sinica (Taipei, Taiwan) invites applications for "multiple" (two-to-three) positions in Taiwan history! It is due 04/30. The call is only available in Chinese so far.
