Publication: “Teaching Premodern Japanese Violence: History and Heritage in the Classroom”

 Mayo, Christopher M. メイヨークリストファー. “Teaching Premodern Japanese Violence: History and Heritage in the Classroom.” In Kōgakkan ronsan: Kōgakkan Daigaku sōritsu hyakuyonjū shūnen saikō rokujū shūnen kinen 皇学論纂: 皇學館大学創立百四十周年再興六十周年記念, 739–736. Ise City: Kōgakkan University 皇學館大学, 2022年3月31日. 

I translated and revised an essay I originally wrote in Japanese for a 2021 publication, 交錯する宗教と民族―交流と衝突の比較史. I think I was able to expand and deepen some of the points I made in the original Japanese essay. The essay is included in a beautiful volume that was published to commemorate Kogakkan University's founding 140 years ago and its re-opening after the war 60 years ago. Although my essay was a small contribution, it was quite an honor to be part of the university's long tradition of scholarship.
