Professor Emerita, Australian National University
I am a historian of East Asia, with the focus mainly on Japan, and was a Distinguished Professor in the School of Culture, History and Language, College of Asia and Pacific, ANU, until 2018, since when I have been a Professor Emerita. I have published 16 sole authored books and 10 co-authored books on East Asian history and culture ( a number of them also translated into Japanese, Chinese and Korean), and have served as president of the Asian Studies Association of Australia. I am also a Fellow of the Australian Institute of International Affairs, and a recipient of the Fukuoka Prize (Academic Award) for contributions to Asian Studies.
