Professor Joy Hendry, Oxford Brookes University
About the lecture:
Applying a broad anthropological approach to the study of Japanese material culture, it is possible to identify several elements that could have been influenced by, or even introduced from other parts of the Pacific Ocean. The timeline is long, and there is little definite proof of the ideas proposed, but Professor Joy Hendry has gathered some interesting and colourful illustrations of her idea that links between the Japanese and other seafaring Pacific peoples may have been neglected in recent years.
About the speaker:
Professor Joy Hendry is Professor Emerita of the Social Anthropology of Japan at Oxford Brookes University, founder of the Japan Anthropology Workshop and the Europe Japan Research Centre, which she also presently directs, and a Senior Member of St. Antony's College, University of Oxford.
