Contested Public Memorials and Conservative Activism in Japan and the United States

该项目的实地工作在美国东部和日本进行。这包括与活动家/专家的访谈，以及收集与历史纪念和公民活动有关的文本和其他文件。收集了研究数据，目前正在进行分析。希望这些数据可以成为未来在国际会议上演讲的基础，或者在撰写期刊文章或书籍章节时使用。我的一篇英文论文部分基于我在日本的实地考察，发表在一本杂志上：《日本的新宗教运动和保守政治：幸福科学和幸福实现党的选举和非选举政治活动概述》。《日本研究所公报》15（2023）：274-260。这篇期刊文章是开源的，因此研究人员和公众都可以阅读。

Fieldwork for this project was conducted in the eastern part of the United States and Japan. This included interviews with activists/experts and the collection of texts and other documents that relate to the topics of historical commemoration and citizen activism. Research data was collected and is in the process of being analyzed. It is hoped that this data can form the basis for future presentations at international conferences, or be used when writing journal articles or book chapters. An English language paper based partly on my Japanese fieldwork was published in a journal: "New Religious Movements and Conservative Politics in Japan: An Overview of Electoral and Non-Electoral Political Activities of Happy Science and the Happiness Realization Party." The Bulletin of the Research Institute for Japanese Studies 15 (2023): 274-260. The journal article is open-source, so it can be read by both researchers and the general public.
