Elyssa Faison

Associate Professor
Japanese History

Professor Faison is the author of Managing Women: Disciplining Labor in Modern Japan (University of California Press, 2007), a book that examines the efforts by Japanese industrial managers, the state, and social reformers to define women engaged in wage labor during the interwar period (1920s and 1930s) as gendered imperial subjects. Professor Faison has presented her work at a wide variety of conferences and spent the 2003-2004 academic year as a post-doctoral fellow at the Yale Council on East Asian Studies. She was among the first faculty at OU to teach a Presidential Dream Course in 2004. She is now working on a study of citizenship in modern Japan that will examine the history of Japan’s family registration (koseki) system. Regularly taught courses include surveys on East Asian history and two upper-division surveys of Japanese history, a history colloquium on “Japan and the Atomic Bomb,” a history capstone titled “Remembering Wartime in Japan,” and an International and Area Studies course titled “Gender in East Asia.” She has also taught a graduate seminar on “Race and the Culture of Japanese Imperialism” and has team-taught a course titled “Germany and Japan in the Age of Total War.” Professor Faison received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2001.
