In spring 2018, Dr. Victor Louzon, the INTERACT Postdoctoral Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University, helped to organize a research and teaching workshop on the theme “Fascism in East Asia.”
The purpose of the workshop was to explore new directions in the study of fascism in East Asia—including China as well as Japan—and the relationship between fascism and imperialism, during the interwar and wartime years. In keeping with the mission of the INTERACT (International Network to Expand Regional and Collaborative Teaching) program, workshop participants also collaborated on the creation of a list of resources for teaching on the subject that is available to download as a PDF here.
