Personal profile
Research Interests
I research the history of relations between Europe, Japan, and China in the sixteenth century. This was a dynamic era: the Age of Exploration in Europe, the period of Warring States in Japan, the Ming Dynasty in China. My current book project, Early Sino-European Relations from a Global Perspective, focuses on official diplomacy. But I am also interested in other forms of cross-cultural interaction, such as the contact between Christianity and Buddhism, or the problems of piracy and human-trafficking.
