![]() New 26MP CMOS full-frame sensor with Dual Pixel AF.Processed to taste from Raw.Ĭanon EF 24-105mm F4L II IS USM 32mm | ISO 100 | 1/640 sec | F5.6 Let's see if it's all blue skies from here with the EOS 6D Mark II. So the question remains: Has the 6D Mark II improved enough? That said, five years is a long time in the digital camera market, and the competition hasn't stood still. Resolution, autofocus performance, burst shooting speed, video shooting and even battery life are all improved. Pacific Basin Fellow, East Asian Inst., Columbia U.Coming to market over five years after the release of its predecessor, it should come as no surprise that the 6D Mark II builds upon the original in almost every way.Fulbright/IIE Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellow (Japan), 1994-95, 1997.Fulbright/Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellow (Indonesia Netherlands), 1996.NIOD/Ailion Foundation Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Lecturer, Leiden University, 2003-2006.Leiden University Teacher’s Academy Fellow, 2014-2019.BA with Distinction, East Asian Studies, University of California, Berkeley, 1987.MA/MPhil, Modern Japanese History, Columbia University, 1991, 1993.PhD with Distinction, Modern Japanese History, Columbia University, 2003.Courses taught regularly include Introduction to Modern Japanese History, Japan’s Asian Empire, World War Two in Asia, and, together with my colleague Nira Wickramasinghe, the Master’s level history theory and methods course Democratizing Histories: Asia and the World. I teach courses at all levels in the Bachelor’s programs in Japan Studies and International Studies, and in the MA programs in Asian Studies (of which I am also serving as Chair from 2017-2020). I supervise research at all levels on topics related to modern Japanese history (1868-present), the interwar and Cold War periods in East and Southeast Asia, and the Asia-Pacific War in history, memory, and historiography. In collaboration with like-minded scholars around the globe from various regional specializations, my current project entitled Global Histories of WWII: Imperial Crises and Contested Loyalties seeks to offer, in the form of an open-access publication and an associated website, a diverse assortment of fresh narratives and interpretations of the Second World War as a truly global (as opposed to Eurocentric) conflict. I am further interested in regional and global history (and the relationship between them) as well as broader questions and theories of nationalism and nation-building, fascism, Marxism and socialism, imperialism, colonialism and anti-colonialism, neo-colonialism and neo-imperialism, postcolonialism and postcolonial theory, race and race-thinking, history and memory, and historiography. In 2015 I also completed a major translation project of Professor Yoshimi Yoshiaki’s classic study Grassroots Fascism: The War Experience of the Japanese People (New York, Columbia University Press), supplementing the original with substantial new annotation and an extensive translator’s introduction. This is the subject of my latest monograph, Japan’s Occupation of Java in the Second World War: A Transnational History (London: Bloomsbury, 2018). I am also a scholar of modern Indonesia, and much of my research has revolved around Japan’s occupation of Indonesia in the Second World War as viewed and experienced by both Japanese and Indonesians, within a broader global context of interwar crisis. My interests and thinking gravitate more towards cross-border questions and dynamics than to those contained within them. I specialize in modern Japanese history, with particular expertise in Japanese imperialism and the social and cultural history of the 1920s-1940s.
