Still in time to watch (until 10 June) Tristan & Isolde by Teshigawara Saburo @karas_apparatus at the @coronettheatre, part of their season Electric Japan 2022. To know more about this performance, read our review by @baldock_alice here: https://t.co/puRiw4UJyr
My article on the Arafura Zone, out now: a new history of Japan’s modern global connections from the perspective of ordinary seafolk. Retelling the ‘Opening of Japan’ as a transnational moment of cultural exchanges born from the ocean. @PastPresentSoc

A super enjoyable conversation (in Japanese) for the @Japanfoundation with Prof Sacko (President of @seika_sekai uni) on diversity and higher education in Japan for a new ‘Diversity Dialogues’ series. I was delighted to join as a former @jpflondon Japanese Studies Fellow.
Congrats @baldock_alice! Another great article from a fellow @UniofOxford@OxfordHistory @NissanInst @OxfordCIH researcher. My students @rikkyouniv and I were so lucky to have Alice deliver a superb lecture for our 'Intellectual History of Japan' course this semester.
@rikkyouniv students and I also enjoyed a fascinating guest lecture on Ankoku Butoh 暗黒舞踏 from Alice Baldock @OxfordHistory@OxfordCIH, a colleague of mine in the @NissanInst Oxford Japanese History Workshop who is currently a MEXT Scholar @mextjapan at Hitotsubashi University
