Editor Tomoko Shiroyama is a professor in the Graduate School of Economics, the University of Tokyo. Professor Shiroyama received her B.A. and M.A. from the University of Tokyo and was awarded a Ph.D. by Harvard University (History, 1999). Her book China During the Great Depression: Market, State, and the World Economy, 1929–1937 (Harvard Asia Center, 2008) has been translated into Chinese and Japanese and was awarded the Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Prize in 2012. Her research is on the banking and monetary system of modern China, the finance of Chinese businesses, and the trans-regional movement of goods, people, and institutions in Asia. Her most recent book, co-edited by Chi Cheung Choi and Takashi Oishi, Chinese and Indian Merchants in Modern Asia: Networking Businesses and Formation of Regional Economy (Brill, forthcoming), examines the internal dynamics of Chinese and Indian merchant houses in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and explores their relationships with the Western powers in the region. Shiroyama is currently leading a project supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science called “Hydrosphere and Socioeconomics in Modern Asia: Exploring a New Regional History Using a Database and Spatial Analysis”, which combines meteorological history, hydrological history and socioeconomic history.
