MJHA Distinguished Annual Lecture

Our flagship annual event, the Modern Japan History Association's Distinguished Annual Lecture recognizes the achievements and contributions of a foremost scholar in the field of modern Japanese history. Each scholar in the field can give the lecture only once.

The first annual MJHA Distinguished Annual Lecture will be given in September 2023 by Tessa Morris-Suzuki, Professor Emerita of Japanese History, Australian National University.

The tentative title for Professor Morris-Suzuki's talk is "Writing War: History in Occupied Japan, and its Echoes for Today."
