CESTA Digital Humanities Graduate Fellowship Project:
Imperial Vocabulary: Public Political Discourse of Trans-Pacific Japan, 1868-1912
From Japan to Indonesia to Brazil and beyond, my project leverages digitized archives of Japanese metropolitan and diaspora newspapers to examine how the meanings of newly coined political terms metamorphosed over time and space during Japan's transition into a modern empire.
