Professor Trent Maxey will give a presentation on his latest research - "Driving in Interwar Tokyo." Professor Maxey teaches the full range of Japanese history, from antiquity to the present, as well as interdisciplinary courses, including the modern re-inventions of Tokyo, the construct of Asia in European intellectual history, and a global history of World War II. Whether teaching a survey of pre-modern Japan or a seminar on the history and memory of the Asia-Pacific War, he connects the specificity of history to broader, critical conversations. These include historicizing the religious/secular divide, the construction of modern nation-states, the place of technology in human society, or the history and memory of modern warfare.
We look forward to meeting with new and old friends from the College on the Hill!
Sincerely,
Amherst Alumni Association of Japan
