Critical Militarism Studies across Asia/Pacific/America

HISTORY 339

Examines how U.S. militarism has shaped lives, lands, and futures across Asia and the Pacific through critical militarism studies. Focuses on Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities—Japan and Okinawa, Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, the Marshall Islands, Guåhan, and Hawai'i—to explore how military power structures everyday life, culture, and transnational relations. Topics include base politics, war memory, gender, race, technology, and decolonization. Culminates in a digital archival project linking militarized pasts to ongoing struggles for justice.
