Professor Yellen expressed his appreciation for the recognition and support from both the University and the Faculty, “I am honoured to receive the Research Excellence Award in recognition of my years of research in Japanese history. This award was made possible by the Faculty of Arts, which provides a supportive environment, offering us the time, space, and resources necessary to advance our fields of study. The award will help me continue advancing a new political history of interwar and wartime Japan.”

The Faculty is dedicated to providing an excellent environment for our members in their pursuit of academic excellence. We empower our scholars to focus on producing research that advances knowledge across the humanities.
