Eugenics is a pseudo-science that attempts to link human behavioral characteristics primarily to inheritance. Eugenics led to sterilization measures and anti-immigration laws in the United States and to Nazi racial laws in Germany. Eugenics, however, was an international phenomenon. Ms. Sumiko Otsubo, under the direction of Dr. James Bartholomew, is investigating how eugenics developed in Japan. Eugenics in Japan had a substantial impact on Japanese society in the first half of the twentieth century. In her dissertation, Ms. Otsubo is comparing the Japanese eugenics to other countries' experiences in terms of the patterns of diffusion, promotion, perception, and the eventual discrediting of eugenics.

优生学是一门伪科学，试图将人类的行为特征主要与遗传联系起来。优生学导致了美国的绝育措施和反移民法，以及德国的纳粹种族法。然而，优生学是一种国际现象。在James Bartholomew博士的指导下，Sumiko Otsubo女士正在调查优生学是如何在日本发展起来的。日本的优生学在20世纪上半叶对日本社会产生了重大影响。在论文中，Otsubo女士将日本优生学与其他国家的优生学经验进行了比较，包括优生学的传播模式、推广模式、认知模式以及最终对优生学的质疑。
