Takashi Yoshida, Assistant Professor of History, has been awarded the Abe Fellowship by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) in coordination with the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership. The Abe Fellowship is named for a former prominent Japanese Statesman. The grant will enable Professor Yoshida to take a year’s leave of absence to devote full time to the research of his new project, “Remembering War, Commemorating Colonialism: A Comparative Analysis of Postwar Japanese Peace Activism and Museums.” He will conduct research in Japan, China, Korea and the US. The results of an early project of Professor Yoshida’s, his book entitled The Making of the “Rape of Nanking”: History and Memory in Japan, China, and the United States will be published by Oxford University Press in April, 2006.
