I am the Archivist for the Makino Collection as well as a Public Services Librarian at C.V. Starr East Asian Library. I began processing the Collection in mid-September, 2008. In 2000, I received a Ph.D. from Columbia University in Japanese History. My dissertation focused on Japanese feminist responses to the Asia-Pacific War (1931-1945). I have been working in libraries ever since - The Library of Congress, Cornell University's Asia Collections, and now Columbia.
