Please join us for the last Eurasian Empires workshop meeting of the Academic Year 2022-23!
Jun Uchida is Associate Professor and Vice-Chair of the Department of History at Stanford University. She is the author of Brokers of Empire: Japanese Settler Colonialism in Korea, 1876-1945 (Harvard University Press, 2011) and many articles that explore the history of overseas Japanese communities in the empire. In her new book, Provincializing Empire: Ōmi Merchants in the Japanese Transpacific Diaspora (University of California Press, 2023), she traces the diasporic lives and activities of the so-called Ōmi merchants from their Tokugawa heyday as entrepreneurial peddlers into the global age of empire, migration, and capitalism.
Jun Uchida will share a chapter from her new book, Provincializing Empire: Ōmi Merchants in the Japanese Transpacific Diaspora (University of California Press, 2023). The details and the paper chapter will be shared after registration.
Monday, June 5, 5:30-7:00pm
Baker Room, Stanford Humanities Center or over Zoom.
The
workshop will take place in person at SHC. Dinner will be served at 5:15. There
will be a hybrid component via Zoom for those interested in
participating virtually. The Zoom link will be shared with the
registrants ahead of the event.
