About
My research focusses on the economic history of modern Japan in comparative context. I have worked extensively on the development of the female labour market, the history of economic relations between Britain and Japan, and the development of communications. I am currently working on a monograph on the economic impact of Japan’s Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923, and have also been engaged in collaborative work with scholars in Japan, the US and Turkey looking at the historical evolution of ideas related to business ethics in Japan, and their potential application to developing economies. I am co-editor of the Journal of Japanese Studies (based at the University of Washington in Seattle) and member of an Association for Asian Studies project on ‘New Frontiers in Asian Economic History’.
