Andrew Goble serves as a Professor in the Department of History within the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oregon. His office is located in 361 McKenzie Hall (1288 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403-1205), with contact details including email platypus@uoregon.edu and phone 541-346-4800.

Professor Goble specializes in medieval Japanese history with concentrated research on illness, mortality, and medical concepts in 16th-century Japan. His work critically examines the intersection of Buddhism and societal structures, political transformations during the Kamakura and Muromachi periods, and imperial authority through primary sources like Emperor Hanazono's writings. This scholarship reveals how medical practices and religious frameworks shaped social hierarchies and governance in pre-modern Japan.
Analysis of his publications demonstrates a consistent scholarly trajectory focused on Japanese medieval political-religious dynamics, particularly imperial-bakufu relations and Buddhist institutional influence. His methodology combines textual analysis of historical chronicles with socio-cultural interpretation, establishing patterns in how power, disease, and spiritual authority interacted during Japan's formative feudal eras.
