Co-sponsored by UMD Libraries

Francis Scott Key Hall, Room 2120

Professor Kingsberg is Associate Professor of History at the University of Coloardo Boulder and a recipient of the Gordon W. Prange Collection's Twentieth-Century Japan Research Award. She specializes in the study of modern Japan. Professor Kingsberg is currently working on a book manuscript provisionally titled, "The Field Generation: Japanese Human Scientists in the Transwar World." This collective biography examines the intellectual cohort active from the 1930s through the 1960s as it created and re-created knowledge of human diversity and national identity amid conditions of imperialism, war, occupation and independence.

This event is FREE and open to the public. 

Lunch will be served. RSVP to millercenter@umd.edu or 301-405-4299 to reserve your lunch.
