Associate Professor Namiko Kunimoto has been selected as a member of the Global Arts + Humanities Society of Fellows for the 2024-2025 academic year. Her project situates the Japanese Empire as a world-historical event that continues to exert profound influence over political dynamics and, crucially, the broad set of contemporary art practices that foreground collective care and work toward justice in the extended wake of twentieth-century Japanese militarism.
The theme for the 2024-25 Society of Fellows seminar is CARE | CULTURE | JUSTICE. The faculty cohort is joining from the College of Internal Medicine and Departments of Art, Comparative Studies, East Asian Languages and Literature, English (Newark and Columbus campuses), French and Italian, and History of Art. The Graduate Team Fellows are currently pursuing PhD or MFA degrees and are joining from six different departments.
