I specialize in the transnational and international history of Northeast Asia with a focus on modern Japan. My current research is on the history of U.S. military occupations in Japan, Korea, and Okinawa, focusing on the rise of American hegemony in the region after World War II. Other areas of research include migration and border controls, decolonization, and the “history problem” in East Asia.
