"My MASIA Mission and motivation for studying Asia as a region is the rich cultural and political history and the intersections of those histories that still affect our contemporary times. Whether it be the grudges from the WWII-era and before, or the ones made after, I seek to understand these issues from the multitude of perspectives and lenses that are available."
