About
I am currently a PhD student in the History department of the University of Michigan. I have an MA from The Ohio State University in East Asian Studies, specializing in pre-modern Japanese history. My research is on artisans of the medieval era, particularly the late 15th and 16th centuries. I am examining the cultural, political, economic, and technological importance of artisans during this time, with an emphasis on how their relationships with various figures of authority (particularly provincial warlords and courtiers in the capital) influenced political and military affairs. I am also interested in the role of artisans in early urbanizing society and castle town formation.
