Nominator's project description
| Professor Garon is well known internationally for his outstanding research in modern and contemporary Japanese history. His research was pivotal to the so-called “transwar turn”, focusing on the continuities from Imperial Japan to the New Japan after 1945. During his stay in Germany he continues writing a transnational history of “home fronts” in Japan, Germany, Britain and the United States in World War II. |
